gwk_dynamo_session:
    table: my_session_table # DynamoDb Table to store sessions in
    locking_strategy: pessimistic # See AWS PHP documentation for valid values
    # dynamo_client_id: my_dynamodb_service # If you already use DynamoDb and you have a AWS\DynamoDb\DynamoDbClient service, you can make the session handler use it
    automatic_gc: true # Whether to use PHP's internal automatic garbage collection. The AWS sdk doesn't recommend it but doesn't explain why
    gc_batch_size: 25 # Maximum number of sessions the garbage collector deletes when garbage collection is started (manually or automatic)
    session_lifetime: 3600 # Number of seconds after which idle sessions should be garbage collected
    read_capacity: 10 # Default read capacity
    write_capacity: 10 # Default write capacity
    aws:
        region: us-east-1 # AWS Region to use
        version: latest # AWS API version
        credentials:

If the table does not exist the bundle will create the table for you with the specified capacities. Once the table is created the capacity configuration values are no longer used (unless the table is deleted)., _(*8)
