Every time after writing a module, in order to test whether the code works fine, we need to connect to Amazon and run it. This will consume a lot of bandwidth and a few dollars. To avoid this we can make use of DynamoDB Local and test the code locally. Once the testing is done we can then make our application use the AWS DynamoDB service. You need to perform only three actions for this, which are as follows:
