About

Dynasight analyzes tables, indexes, capacity, and workloads to uncover waste, surface performance risks, and prioritize the fixes with the greatest impact.

Features

Problem
DynamoDB waste can hide in table and index configuration.
How it works
Detects expensive tables, unused or underused GSIs, and overprovisioned provisioned-capacity tables.
Result
Teams get review candidates for cost-saving changes.
Why
These conditions may continue creating storage, write, or unused-capacity costs.
Problem
Frequent scans and late filtering can increase reads and latency.
How it works
Surfaces scan-heavy workloads and FilterExpression misuse alongside table-design context.
Result
Engineers can investigate more targeted query paths, index strategies, or table design changes.
Why
These patterns can signal that existing keys, indexes, or query paths do not fit the workload.
Problem
Raw monitoring signals do not form an actionable backlog.
How it works
Ranks findings by impact, confidence, and engineering context, with plain-English risk and review guidance.
Result
Monitoring becomes a prioritized optimization backlog.
Why
Teams need to decide which cost and performance issues deserve attention first.
Problem
Production audits must not change AWS resources automatically.
How it works
Connects through a read-only AWS IAM role and does not make automatic AWS changes.
Result
Engineers review and implement changes on their own terms.
Why
Teams can inspect DynamoDB safely while retaining control of remediation.
Problem
Optimization work can disappear after an initial review.
How it works
Keeps resolved findings visible and supports sharing findings with the team.
Result
Progress remains trackable over time.
Why
Teams need continuity across cost-review and remediation work.

Product questions

What does Dynasight do?

Dynasight is a DynamoDB monitoring and optimization platform for AWS engineering teams. It uses read-only AWS access to analyze tables, indexes, capacity, scans, and access patterns, then turns the resulting cost and performance signals into prioritized engineering findings.
