DynamoDB Dynomite Wait Times
Important: These docs are for the outdated Jets 5 versions and below. For the latest Jets docs: docs.rubyonjets.com
Here are some example wait times. Times may differ for you, but it should give you an idea of how long you should wait.
| Action | Time | Description |
|---|---|---|
| create_table | 10s | Time it takes to create a new table without LSI or GSI indexes. I’ve noticed that multiple LSI and GSI indexes only add about 10 more seconds in total. |
| update_table | 7m37s | Time it takes to add a GSI. This is the slowest operation. It takes a few minutes even if the table is empty. I’ve seen it take 5m to 10m on a pretty much empty table. The trick is to create the GSI index as part of create_table instead if you can do some planning ahead of time. |
| delete_table | 1s | Time it takes to delete a table. |
