There's some resources which are unique per AWS account, such as policies and roles. Here I use the `name_prefix` option of these resources to create unique versions of them. Jira: IAM-1732
The testing environment has _way_ more data than dev, and should provide a better environment for running tests. Jira: IAM-1732

Since DAX offers no benefits, as found on dev and test, we won't be using it in production. Unfortunate, but this closes off a thread of work and allows us to focus on other things. No "easy" wins here. Jira: IAM-1732

Small writeup: 2025-07-25 DynamoDB Accelerator does not improve response times for Person API
We found that adding DAX does not improve response times after trying a couple of different things. The writeup has more deets, but the gist of it is:
Same behaviour when trying with different replicas.
I'm including the code here for posterity, should we want to revive this at some point. Plus, there were a couple of bug fixes along the way which seemed like a good idea to include.
