Error: DynamoDB consistent read not working

Answered by Rafal Wilinski
What's Causing This Error
This error can be caused by a variety of issues, such as:
- Incorrectly setting the value of the
ConsistentRead
parameter in the query. - Not having enough read capacity units provisioned for the table.
- Issues with the IAM role associated with the request.
- Errors with the SDK being used.
- The table is experiencing heavy read traffic
Solution: Here's How To Resolve It
To solve this error, you can take the following steps:
- Check the value of the
ConsistentRead
parameter in the query and ensure that it is set to true if you want a consistent read. - Check the read capacity units provisioned for the table and ensure that it is sufficient for the read traffic.
- Check the IAM role associated with the request to ensure it has the necessary permissions to read the table.
- Verify that the SDK being used is configured correctly and that all necessary dependencies are installed.
- If the table is experiencing heavy read traffic, consider using DynamoDB Auto Scaling to adjust the provisioned throughput automatically.
