Answered by Rafal Wilinski
What's Causing This Error
You will run into this error when you're using IaC tools such as Pulumi, Terraform or AWS CDK to provision and manage your DynamoDB table. This error will occur when you have defined an array of attributes and have not used them in your Partition or Range key of your table or indexes.
Solution: Here's How To Resolve It
To solve the error, only define attributes that will be used in an index or in a table as a key schema attribute.
