@martingaleano Would you remind me why you removed the default billing mode?

@martingaleano Would you remind me why you removed the default billing mode?

This new version of tfstate module adds the billing_mode handling:

You can compare both version here: binbashar/terraform-aws-tfstate-backend@v1.0.23...v1.0.28

In v1.0.23 we were using read_capacity and write_capacity with 5 as value. At first I tried to keep using those values so the transition from 1.0.23 to 1.0.28 would be more transparent . That's why I used billing_mode with PROVISIONED value at first.

The default value now is PAY_PER_REQUEST. At the end I though this would be a better choice because we are charged on demand.

Now I took a look at DynamoBD pricing and realized that PROVISIONED mode has a free tier that can help us -> https://aws.amazon.com/dynamodb/pricing/provisioned/

I think we were using this free tier during this time and it's better if we continue this way.

What do you think?

Sounds good.

@diego-ojeda-binbash I've just added billing_mode = "PROVISIONED" as we discussed in this thread
