Error: DynamoDB Code Working In Node But Not SAM

Answered by Rafal Wilinski
What's Causing This Error
The cause of this error can change depending on the scenario and application you are working on. For instance, it may be due to an issue with the AWS SAM template or a network issue between AWS SAM and your Docker DynamoDB.
Solution: Here's How To Resolve It
Ensure your template is accurate and you apply the key concepts appropriately. If you think the issue is a Docker networking issue, you can try using Docker Compose. You can find the AWS SAM template for DynamoDB here.
