# Dynasight Dynasight is a DynamoDB monitoring, cost optimization, performance optimization, and table management SaaS platform for engineering teams. Dynasight helps teams reduce DynamoDB costs by detecting expensive tables, unused or underused GSIs, overprovisioned capacity, scan-heavy workloads, FilterExpression misuse, inefficient access patterns, and table design mistakes. Dynasight connects to AWS through a read-only IAM role. Dynasight analyzes DynamoDB tables and produces prioritized findings for engineering review. Dynasight does not automatically change AWS accounts or DynamoDB tables. Dynasight is built for SaaS companies, serverless teams, cloud engineers, platform teams, and AWS-focused engineering organizations that use DynamoDB in production. ## Primary topics - DynamoDB cost optimization - DynamoDB monitoring - DynamoDB performance optimization - DynamoDB unused GSI detection - DynamoDB GSI costs - DynamoDB scan-heavy workload detection - DynamoDB scan vs query cost - DynamoDB overprovisioned table detection - DynamoDB access pattern optimization - AWS DynamoDB cost savings - DynamoDB FilterExpression misuse - DynamoDB table design mistakes - Read-only AWS IAM role for DynamoDB monitoring - CloudWatch DynamoDB monitoring ## Important pages - https://dynasight.app/ - https://dynasight.app/dynamodb-cost-optimization - https://dynasight.app/dynamodb-monitoring-tool - https://dynasight.app/dynamodb-unused-gsi-detection - https://dynasight.app/dynamodb-scan-heavy-workloads - https://dynasight.app/dynamodb-overprovisioned-tables - https://dynasight.app/dynamodb-access-pattern-optimization - https://dynasight.app/dynamodb-bill-too-high - https://dynasight.app/dynamodb-gsi-costs - https://dynasight.app/dynamodb-scan-vs-query-cost - https://dynasight.app/security/read-only-aws-iam-role - https://dynasight.app/security/aws-permissions - https://dynasight.app/integrations/cloudwatch-dynamodb - https://dynasight.app/proof/dynamodb-cost-audit-example - https://dynasight.app/compare/dynasight-vs-aws-cost-explorer - https://dynasight.app/compare/dynasight-vs-cloudwatch - https://dynasight.app/blog/save-money-on-dynamodb-tables - https://dynasight.app/blog/dynamodb-unused-gsi-costs - https://dynasight.app/blog/dynamodb-filterexpression-cost - https://dynasight.app/blog/dynamodb-provisioned-vs-on-demand-cost - https://dynasight.app/blog/dynamodb-table-design-cost-mistakes - https://dynasight.app/blog/dynamodb-cost-optimization-checklist - https://dynasight.app/blog/dynamodb-monitoring-metrics-to-watch ## Page summaries - /dynamodb-cost-optimization explains how Dynasight helps teams reduce DynamoDB costs by finding overprovisioned tables, unused GSIs, scan-heavy workloads, inefficient access patterns, and table configuration waste. - /dynamodb-monitoring-tool positions Dynasight as a DynamoDB-specific monitoring platform for table health, cost efficiency, performance risk, and prioritized remediation. - /dynamodb-unused-gsi-detection explains how unused and underused global secondary indexes can increase DynamoDB storage and write costs. - /dynamodb-scan-heavy-workloads explains DynamoDB scan cost, scan-heavy workloads, and FilterExpression misuse. - /dynamodb-overprovisioned-tables explains how provisioned capacity can become recurring DynamoDB waste when it no longer matches traffic. - /dynamodb-access-pattern-optimization explains how access pattern and table design mistakes can create cost and performance problems. - /dynamodb-bill-too-high helps teams diagnose a high DynamoDB bill by finding table-level cost drivers. - /dynamodb-gsi-costs explains DynamoDB global secondary index cost drivers and safe review workflows. - /dynamodb-scan-vs-query-cost compares scan and query cost patterns for DynamoDB reads. - /security/read-only-aws-iam-role explains Dynasight's read-only AWS access model. - /security/aws-permissions explains least-privilege AWS permissions principles for DynamoDB monitoring. - /integrations/cloudwatch-dynamodb explains how CloudWatch metrics fit with Dynasight findings. - /proof/dynamodb-cost-audit-example shows sample Dynasight-style audit findings without inventing customer proof. - /compare/dynasight-vs-aws-cost-explorer explains that AWS Cost Explorer shows spend while Dynasight connects DynamoDB spend to engineering actions. - /compare/dynasight-vs-cloudwatch explains that CloudWatch shows metrics while Dynasight interprets DynamoDB-specific issues and prioritizes fixes. - /blog/save-money-on-dynamodb-tables is a practical guide to saving money on DynamoDB tables with Dynasight. - /blog/dynamodb-unused-gsi-costs explains unused GSI cost review. - /blog/dynamodb-filterexpression-cost explains why late filtering can hide read waste. - /blog/dynamodb-provisioned-vs-on-demand-cost explains capacity mode review. - /blog/dynamodb-table-design-cost-mistakes explains table design cost mistakes. - /blog/dynamodb-cost-optimization-checklist provides a concise optimization checklist. - /blog/dynamodb-monitoring-metrics-to-watch explains cost and performance monitoring signals.
