DynamoDB CLI commands

Connecting to a local (Docker) DynamoDB instance

In order to distinguish between local and production accounts you should keep seperate configs in .aws/config and .aws/credentials. Then specify the profile if you are working locally and the local URL. Without the --profile flag, AWS will default to the default profile which will typically be your credentials for accessing AWS on the remote.

aws dynamodb list-tables --profile timetracking_dev --endpoint-url
http://localhost:800

Delete a table

aws dynamodb delete-table \
--profile timetracking_dev \
--endpoint-url http://localhost:8000 \
--table-name TableName

Create table from JSON schema

aws dynamodb create-table \
--cli-input-json file://create-timeentries-table.json \
--profile timetracking_dev \
--endpoint-url http://localhost:8000
