DynamoDB Table – Monitor Table Latency

This check ensures that latency metrics for Amazon DynamoDB tables are actively monitored. Tracking read and write latency helps identify performance issues early and ensures applications meet expected response times.

Check Details

  • Resource: DynamoDB Table
  • Check: Monitor DynamoDB table latency
  • Risk: Increased latency can degrade application performance and user experience

Remediation via AWS Console

  1. Log in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon DynamoDB service. Amazon DynamoDB Console
  2. In the left navigation pane, click Tables and select the affected DynamoDB table.
  3. Open the Monitor tab for the selected table.
  4. Ensure latency-related metrics such as:
    • SuccessfulRequestLatency
    • Read latency
    • Write latency
    are visible and actively updating.
  5. Review latency trends over time to identify spikes or sustained increases in read and write latency.
