Each shard is 10GB. The unit of scale is a shard. You can have as many shards as you want.

It's one shard per node though, right? So you're talking about SERIOUS cost when you want to store _actual_ big data.

You don't pay per node. In fact, the concept of a node is not exposed at all. Each shard is technically on three nodes for high availability. You pay for provisioned capacity and data storage per GB.

DynamoDB is a multi-tenant service. There is no dedicated node for you. Each shard is replicated across 3 nodes and those nodes contain replicas of other shards/tables.
