Error: DynamoDB No Provisioned Throughput specified for the table
Answered by Rafal Wilinski
What's Causing This Error
You may run into this error when you try to create a table under the PROVISIONED billing mode without specifying a throughput (WCU or RCU).
Solution: Here's How To Resolve It
To resolve this issue, ensure that you specify appropriate values for provisioned throughput as read capacity units, write capacity units, or total capacity units when updating or creating a table.
Also, note that you can make adjustments to the provisioned throughput over time based on the traffic to your table.
