Write Request Unit (WRU)

All writes in DynamoDB are strongly consistent

Measuring the write capacity usage

All writes are measured in terms of 1 KB chunks. Unit for measuring writes is referred to as the Write Request Unit (WRU).

1 WRU = 1 write of 1 KB or less

You may use the expression below to calculate the WRU usage for a write.

Round_UP(size of write data)x(1 WRU)

Go through the example below for clarity.
