The AI developer cloud for GPU pods, serverless inference and clustering
Rent GPU instances with on-demand, interruptible or reserved capacity across more than 30 GPU SKUs, from RTX 4090s up to B200 and B300 class accelerators, deployed in 31 global regions.
Deploy any container as an API endpoint that scales from zero to thousands of workers on demand and bills only for the compute you actually use.
Launch multi-node GPU clusters for distributed training and large inference jobs, with shared storage attachable and no long-term commitment required.
Deploy popular open-source models from a curated hub, or use public endpoints for image, audio and text models without managing infrastructure.
Open-source DynamoDB capacity visualization with Amazon Bedrock AI insights
Connect with an AWS access key and secret key, then browse and monitor the DynamoDB tables in your account.
Pick a table and date range to generate clear graphs of provisioned versus consumed capacity, so you can judge whether provisioning is right-sized.
A one-click AI panel uses Amazon Bedrock (Mistral 7B Instruct by default) to turn raw capacity data into written insights and provisioning recommendations.
Optionally save generated analyses and metrics to a DynamoDB table in your own account, then regenerate graphs later to compare trends over time.
