Error: requested resource not found aws dynamodb

Requested resource not found means the resource is absent from the account, Region or endpoint handling the request, or is not ready for that operation. Invalid credentials normally produce an authentication error instead.

1. Compare the exact physical table and index names with deployment outputs. Names in real DynamoDB are case-sensitive.
2. Run DescribeTable with the same Region and credential identity as the application. Check ACTIVE status before data operations.
3. Inspect endpoint overrides in tests and containers. Tables in DynamoDB Local do not exist in AWS, and different local database settings can expose different table sets.

aws sts get-caller-identity --profile app
aws dynamodb describe-table --table-name Orders --profile app --region us-east-1

Use the application's profile and Region in place of the examples. If the table was just created, wait for it to exist. If it was deleted or renamed by a deployment, repair the configuration or restore the intended data rather than silently creating an empty replacement.
