Error: DynamoDB Is Unsupported It Cannot Be Instantiated
Answered by Rafal Wilinski
What's Causing This Error
There are several reasons that can cause this error in DynamoDB. For instance, if the class you are trying to instantiate is a utility or interface class, or an abstract class that is not meant to be instantiated directly, this error can arise.
Solution: Here's How To Resolve It
When interacting with DynamoDB, you should ensure that you are using the appropriate classes and methods provided by the SDK. For example, when handling table operations, it is better to use higher-level methods and classes like DynamoDBMapper and DynamoDBMapperConfig. The occurrence of this error can be minimized by not attempting to instantiate unsupported classes and always using classes and methods offered by the SDK.
