- Start with the size of the items, in kilobytes (KB):
ItemSize = Size of the items (rows) in KB
- Work out the required number of RCUs required by dividing the number by 4, and rounding up:
RCU Per Item = ItemSize / 4 (rounded up)
- Define the expected number of read operations per second. This is one of the numbers you will use to provision your table with:
Required RCU = Expected Number of Reads * RCU Per Item
- Divide the number by 3,000 to calculate the number of DDB partitions required to reach the capacity:
Read Partitions = Required RCU / 3,000
- Next, work out the write capacity required by dividing the item size by 1, and rounding up:
WCU Per Item = ItemSize / 1 (rounded up)
- Define the expected number of write operations ...
