Error: dynamodb could not load credentials from any providers

Answered by Rafal Wilinski
What's Causing This Error
This error message indicates an issue with the AWS credentials that the SDK or library uses to connect to the DynamoDB service. The error message means it cannot find or load the credentials from any of the providers it is configured to use. This can happen if the credentials are not correctly set up, if the credentials are not in the correct format, if the credentials have expired, or if the SDK or library is not configured correctly to use the credentials.
Solution: Here's How To Resolve It
To solve this error:
- Ensure that the credentials (access and secret access key) are set up correctly with the required permissions to access the DynamoDB service.
- Check that the SDK or library is configured correctly to use the correct credentials by reviewing the documentation and examples provided by the SDK or library.
- Try creating a new set of credentials and use them.
