Error: Conditional Update Error DynamoDB
Answered by Rafal Wilinski
What's Causing This Error
An error in a conditional update in DynamoDB will probably cause ConditionalCheckFailedException. You will get a message saying "the conditional request failed" in such instances. This scenario happens when the attribute's actual value does not match the expected value from the condition.
Solution: Here's How To Resolve It
If there is a mismatch, recheck the values and verify whether they are accurate.
