𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗶𝘁! 🚀 If you're experiencing sluggish DynamoDB performance, especially when calling it from an Express Node API, you don’t need to switch to another database right away. 𝗕𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀, 𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗶𝗽𝘀: 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀: Use Query instead of Scan and leverage secondary indexes to reduce unnecessary data reads. 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆: Ensure sufficient read/write throughput or switch to On-Demand Capacity for dynamic scaling. 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗱𝗮: Avoid cold starts by allocating more memory or using Provisioned Concurrency. Ensure VPC endpoints are in place. 𝗖𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿: Use DAX or external caches like Redis to reduce load and speed up responses. 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Use BatchGetItem and async operations in Node.js to fetch multiple records simultaneously. 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽-𝗔𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗪𝗦 𝗦𝗗𝗞: Enable HTTP keep-alive to reuse connections and reduce API call overhead. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Only fetch the attributes you need to avoid large payloads. With these optimizations, you’ll improve your DynamoDB performance without the need for drastic changes! Have you encountered DynamoDB performance issues?
