Now that DynamoDB supports Time to Live, this is a much better solution than manual garbage collection for expiring sessions. The session
expires
attribute is already in a suitable format for this. The suggested update points this out rather than giving users the (possibly bad) advice to setup garbage collection.Also added some hints around how to setup the table, and suggest the on-demand capacity mode as an alternative to trying to guess the right provisioned capacity.
These are all relatively recent features in DynamoDB, but these are settings we are running in production for our clients at Idealstack and they seem to work well.
