Error: DynamoDB BatchSave not working

Answered by Rafal Wilinski
What's Causing This Error
This error can be caused by a variety of issues, such as:
- Improperly formatted requests.
- Insufficient provisioned write capacity on the table.
- Concurrent requests exceeding the provisioned write capacity of the table.
- Issues with the IAM role associated with the request.
- Errors with the
batchsavefunction or the SDK being used.
Solution: Here's How To Resolve It
To solve this error, you can take the following steps:
- Double-check the format of the requests sent to the DynamoDB service to ensure they are properly formatted.
- Check the provisioned write capacity on the table and increase it if necessary.
- Consider implementing exponential backoff to handle retries for failed requests.
- Check the IAM role associated with the request to ensure it has the necessary permissions to write to the table.
- Verify that the
batchsavefunction or SDK being used is configured correctly, and all necessary dependencies are installed. - You can also check the CloudWatch metrics for the DynamoDB table to see if you are exceeding the write capacity units.
