Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

⚡️ Serverless Plugin for DynamoDB Auto Scaling

npm CircleCI license Coveralls

With this plugin for serverless, you can enable DynamoDB Auto Scaling for tables and Global Secondary Indexes easily in your serverless.yml configuration file. The plugin supports multiple tables and indexes, as well as separate configuration for read and write capacities using Amazon's native DynamoDB Auto Scaling.

Usage

Add the NPM package to your project:

# Via yarn
$ yarn add serverless-dynamodb-autoscaling

# Via npm
$ npm install serverless-dynamodb-autoscaling

Add the plugin to your serverless.yml:

plugins:
  - serverless-dynamodb-autoscaling

Configuration

Configure DynamoDB Auto Scaling in serverless.yml with references to your DynamoDB CloudFormation resources for the table property. The index configuration is optional to apply Auto Scaling Global Secondary Index.

custom:
  capacities:
    - table: CustomTable  # DynamoDB Resource
      index:              # List or single index name
        - custom-index-name
      read:
        minimum: 5        # Minimum read capacity
        maximum: 1000     # Maximum read capacity
        usage: 0.75       # Targeted usage percentage
      write:
        minimum: 40       # Minimum write capacity
        maximum: 200      # Maximum write capacity
        usage: 0.5        # Targeted usage percentage

That's it! With the next deployment, serverless will add a CloudFormation configuration to enable Auto Scaling for the DynamoDB resources CustomTable and its Global Secondary Index called custom-index-name.

You must provide at least a configuration for read or write to enable Auto Scaling!

Defaults

maximum: 200
minimum: 5
usage: 0.75

Index

If you only want to enable Auto Scaling for the index, use indexOnly: true to skip Auto Scaling for the general DynamoDB table.

API Throtteling

CloudWatch has very strict API rate limits! If you plan to configure Auto Scaling for multiple DynamoDB tables or Global Secondary Indexes, request an increase of the rate limits first! Otherwise, you might run into an error like this:

An error occurred while provisioning your stack: XYZ - Unable to create alarms for scaling policy XYZ due to reason: 
Rate exceeded (Service: AmazonCloudWatch; Status Code: 400; Error Code: Throttling; Request ID: XYZ).

DynamoDB

The example serverless configuration above works fine for a DynamoDB table CloudFormation resource like this:

resources:
  Resources:
    CustomTable:
      Type: AWS::DynamoDB::Table
      Properties:
        TableName: custom-table
        AttributeDefinitions:
          - AttributeName: key
            AttributeType: S
        KeySchema:
          - AttributeName: key
            KeyType: HASH
        ProvisionedThroughput:
          ReadCapacityUnits: 5
          WriteCapacityUnits: 5
        GlobalSecondaryIndexes:
          - IndexName: custom-index-name
            KeySchema:
              - AttributeName: key
                KeyType: HASH
            Projection:
              ProjectionType: ALL
            ProvisionedThroughput:
              ReadCapacityUnits: 5
              WriteCapacityUnits: 5
