Error: dynamodb cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'bytelength')
Answered by Rafal Wilinski
What's Causing This Error
The error can occur due to several reasons in the AWS JS SDK. However, one known cause for this error is that keys in the credentials object are spelled in PascalCase, instead of camelCase.
