DynamoDB TTL - Expiration Time

0

I am using the Amazon DynamoDB TTL functionality to trigger a AWS Lambda function. Triggers with Starting position: LATEST.

This is working perfectly fine, but the items are staying in the Amazon DynamoDB table 15 minutes past it's expiration epoch time, and then expires.

Is this expected behavior? Did I miss something?

Yes, this is expected.

Depending on the size and activity level of a table, the actual delete operation of an expired item can vary. Because TTL is meant to be a background process, the nature of the capacity used to expire and delete items via TTL is variable (but free of charge).
