Which is why you turn the knob back down when you stop being bursty.

But yes, it's pricy. It may not be the best fit for some. Hopefully by the time you're taking 160k writes per second you have a solid business model. I mean, Twitter peaked at around 8000 tweets per second. What are you doing that requires 160k, and do you really need to be storing it?

It's probably an indication that your use-case is not a good fit for dynamo, or that you didn't adapt your use-case to dynamo, you're doing something "wrong" like trying to use it as a relational database. I've experienced some of these pains as part of my dynamo learning curve.

For example by changing my query strategy I was able reduce the provisioned write units from 1900 to 150 (write units dominate the cost).
