Solution

Serverless Error ---------------------------------------

Serverless command "dynamodb" not found. Did you mean "deploy"? Run "serverless help" for a list of all available commands.
is pretty known problem. This error originates from serverless-dynamodb-local Serverless' Framework plugin.


Troubleshooting steps:

  • Make sure you have serverless-dynamodb-local plugin installed. If not, add it:
    npm install serverless-dynamodb-local --save-dev
    or
    yarn add serverless-dynamodb-local -D
    Moreover, make sure it's added to the plugins section of your serverless.yml file:
    plugins:
        - serverless-dynamodb-local
On the other hand, if this command shows no output, try this instead:
sls dynamodb install --localPath ./bin
