  contextual: Provisioned Table Auto Scaling is not configured
description: >
  Ensure that Amazon DynamoDB tables are configured to automatically scale read 
  and write capacity to meet demand. This can be achieved by using On-Demand 
  capacity mode or by configuring Auto Scaling for provisioned throughput. This 
  helps maintain performance during traffic spikes and can optimize costs during 
  periods of low activity.
