Error: dynamodb table not exists
Answered by Rafal Wilinski
What's Causing This Error
This error indicates that the specified DynamoDB table does not exist in the AWS account. There can be several reasons for that:
- The table was deleted or never created.
- The table is in a different AWS region or account.
- The AWS credentials being used do not have the necessary permissions to access the table.
Solution: Here's How To Resolve It
You can use AWS Management Console or AWS CLI to verify that the table is available in the specified account or region.
If the table is there, you might have a permission or code issue when trying to access the table. If the table is not there, you need to create a new table.
