Answered by Rafal Wilinski
Answer
Yes, DynamoDB can run on Mac OS using the DynamoDB Local feature, a version of DynamoDB that you can run on your own computer. This allows you to test and develop your application locally without incurring any charges or internet access. To run DynamoDB Local on Mac OS, you need to download the DynamoDB Local JAR file and run it on your computer using the Java runtime.
