Description

It is a best practice to enable Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR) for DynamoDB tables to protect against accidental or malicious data loss. In Terraform, this is configured using the point_in_time_recovery { enabled = true } block. Leaving it as enabled = false means that deleted or corrupted data cannot be recovered to a previous state. Without PITR enabled, any accidental overwrite or deletion of table data can result in permanent loss, potentially impacting application availability or causing irreparable data integrity issues.
