DynamoDB Item Size and Consumed Capacity Calculator

DynamoDB Item Size and Consumed Capacity Calculator launched on January 25, 2019 with 7 votes, #1,098 of 2,587 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 7 years on.

What it does

This tool takes the JSON representation of a DynamoDB item and tells you its size in bytes and how many capacity units it'll consume when reading and writing. To use the tool, paste an item's DynamoDB JSON into the text area below and click Calculate . This is a client-side tool, so your data stays in the browser. If you're using the old DynamoDB console , you can get the DynamoDB JSON of an item by clicking the item's key , switching to Text view , and ensuring DynamoDB JSON is checked. If you're using the new DynamoDB console , you can get the DynamoDB JSON of an item by clicking the item's key , switching to JSON view , and ensuring View DynamoDB JSON is toggled on.

    I created a web page to compare different analytical databases (both self-managed and services, open-source and proprietary) on a realistic dataset. It contains 20+ databases, each with installation and data loading scripts. And they can be compared to each other on a set of 43 queries, by data load time or by storage size. There are switches to select different types of databases for comparison - for example, only MySQL compatible or PostgreSQL compatible. If you play with the switches, many interesting details will be uncovered. Full description:…

  • PostgreSQL performance and cost across 23 EC2 instance typesJul 2026 · postgres.saneengineer.com · ▲97

    Hey! I'm Andrei. I got frustrated by how people tend to build overcomplicated backend systems, being "motivated" by big tech case studies and popular books. So, I started exploring lean architecture, and building my digital garden of ideas, approaches and data that align with this direction. Here I want to present one of the tools – Sizing tool for PostgreSQL. I've benchmarked PostgreSQL on different EC2 instances and disks, with different initial data sets to see performance that these instances can give you. And I've built a tool to visualize this data, which I welcome you to explore. So,…
