DynamoDB PartiQL Price

Hello,

The website mentions potential charges for PartiQL usage because while the core query function is free, there might be associated costs for other AWS resources. The main reason there would be a cost associated would be the data storage and throughput costs for DynamoDB. Running PartiQL queries would involve accessing and querying data stored in DynamoDB tables. These database operations would be billed according to standard DynamoDB pricing.

Here is a link to an article that helps optimize cost for DynamoDB: https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/dynamodb-optimize-costs

Yes, exactly. If you use the PartiQL service to query data from a DynamoDB table without exceeding the provisioned RCU, since you have provisioned it, you would not need to pay extra. In addition, you don't have auto-scaling enabled, which means that the table does not provide any more RCU or WCU when going over the provisioned RCU; de facto, you don't get any unexpected costs.
