DynamoDB: Modifying Throughput
Increased throughput at AWS with DynamoDB costs money. To manage cost, we reduce the throughput for DynmoDB at AWS for our Nu Skin Test environment as soon as testing is complete.

To Increase DynamoDB Throughput:

Connect to AWS using your credentials for the AWS Test environment
Make sure US West (Oregon) is selected from region dropdown.
From the Console-Home page, select DynamoDB from the list of Amazon Web Services.
Click Tables on the left, and then select basEventsTest.
Click the Capacity tab.
Change the values to match the table below. When done, click Save. You will also need to modify basJobstest and basRecurringJobsTest.
Production values (as of March 31, 2015)
