Error: DynamoDB Internal Server Error
Answered by Rafal Wilinski
Solution
DynamoDB responds with such error when something is wrong on AWS side. These kind of errors are expected from time to time due to the nature of distributed systems. There's
not much we can do about it. Try retrying your request. You can also check the
AWS Status Dashboard
to see if there's an error with AWS Cloud right now.
Apart from that you can setup a Cloudwatch Alarm using SystemErrors metric which is incremented each time DynamoDB responds with a 500 HTTP error.
