In one line

Cassandra with DynamoDB's meters underneath: RRU/WRU on demand, hourly RCU/WCU when provisioned.

What gets missed

Consistency level moves the bill. One RRU covers a LOCAL_QUORUM read up to 4 KB, or two LOCAL_ONE reads. TTL deletes bill one unit per KB per row, and multi-Region writes bill WRUs in every Region.

Find it on your bill

Filter Cost Explorer or your Cost and Usage Report by these usage types. A usage type with no region prefix means us-east-1.

Bills the same way

These services turn exactly the same meters, so what you learn here transfers.
