Dynasight helps you find and fix wasted DynamoDB spend before it becomes a surprise AWS bill. It analyzes your tables, indexes, usage patterns, and configuration to find clear, prioritized cost and performance issues. Unlike generic cloud cost tools, Dynasight is built specifically for DynamoDB, so every insight is practical, focused, and developer-friendly.
One thing that would make this way more useful for me would be a monthly savings report I can forward to my manager showing exactly what we cut and what we still could tighten up.
@aliayarynyx Dynasight does exactly that. one of the core features is you receive monthly reports of the savings you made each month. Its a premium feature though.
happy to give you an extended free trial to try it out. lmk :)
thanks for the feedback, much appreciated!
Congrats on the launch, Uriel.
I connected Dynasight to a production AWS account last week and then did something slightly obnoxious: I went and re-derived its numbers myself from CloudWatch and Cost Explorer.
It estimated $15.56/mo of cost for a set of indexes. I measured $15.85. That's 0.4% off, and it quoted the savings figure below its own computed cost instead of inflating it. I build cost tooling for a living and I almost never see a vendor under-claim.
It also flagged a GSI that nothing had read in 30 days. I didn't know it was dead. Four engineering tickets came out of that one scan.
Worth calling out the IAM role too: Describe/List plus CloudWatch, and that's it. No GetItem, no Query, no Scan. It structurally cannot read the contents of your tables.
Not a flawless product, I sent Uriel a long list of nits privately, because he asked for them. But the measurement engine underneath is honest, and that's the part you can't fake. Upvoted.
@rickwise Thanks Rick, really appreciated!
