DynamoDB provides the Auto Scaling feature for automatically scaling the read and write capacity of a table; however, if you do not use it, you need to manually handle the throughput requirement of your table. DynamoDB measures the throughput capacity using read and write capacity units.

Read capacity units
DynamoDB processes the read operations based on the type of read consistency used. Using one read capacity unit, DynamoDB can process one strongly consistent read per second. In the same line, DynamoDB can process two eventual consistent reads per second using one read capacity unit. Using one read capacity unit, DynamoDB can process an item of up to 4 KB in size. If the item size is more...
