What's Causing This Error

This error can be caused by a variety of issues, such as:

  • The table does not have streams enabled.
  • The Lambda function or other stream consumer is not configured correctly.
  • The IAM role associated with the stream consumer doesn't have the necessary permissions.
  • The stream buffer has reached its maximum capacity, and the stream events are not being delivered.

Solution: Here's How To Resolve It

To solve this error, you can take the following steps:

  • Verify that the table has streams enabled and that the stream is configured correctly.

  • Check the stream buffer and ensure it has not reached its maximum capacity.
  • Check for network connectivity issues between the DynamoDB table and the stream consumer.
