What pricing models does AWS DynamoDB offer?

Is a managed database worth the extra cost over self-hosted?
Managed databases cost 20-40% more than running your own on a VM, but include automated backups, patching, failover, and monitoring. For most teams the operational savings outweigh the price premium. Self-hosting makes sense only when you need custom configurations or have dedicated DBA expertise.
What is included in managed database hourly pricing?
Hourly pricing covers the compute instance, OS license, and database engine. Storage, backups, and data transfer are billed separately. Some providers bundle a limited amount of backup storage. Always check for I/O costs, which can be significant for write-heavy workloads.
