Answered by Rafal Wilinski
What's Causing This Error
This error occurs when an AWS service such as the Lambda function cannot locate the module dynamodb-doc as a third-party dependency.
Solution - Here's How To Resolve It
To resolve the error, manually add the module in the package.json as shown below.
