What's Causing This Error
This error occurs due to various reasons. However, in most cases, it happens when the table you are trying to access is either being created or does not exist on DynamoDB in the specified region.
Additionally, you may encounter this error if you use an invalid access key to access the table.
Solution - Here's How To Resolve It
First, visit the DynamoDB console and verify that the table is created to resolve this error. You should see the status as "Active."
