What is the best capacity for a Production use DynamoDB?

I am using an application in production. I need to know what is the best capacity to put in read and write. Right now I see it is millions in both read and write? And also what is the best for a huge usage, is On-Demand or Provisioned Capacity? Right now I am using On-Demand mode but in production when we have a lot of traffic what will be the best way? Will Provisioned Capacity is cheaper? Or good to continue with On-Demand mode?

I suggest you start with On-Demand, which will usually be cheapest and ensure you don't pay extra for capacity you don't use.

After running in production for a few weeks, you can look at the DynamoDB read/write metrics and decide on Provisioned Capacity settings which make sense for your app, and may save you money. You'll need to revisit this as your app usage grows, along with monitor for read/write throttling.
