Hi everyone,
Although i have followed every step, i am still getting the error and couldn’t figure it out. Could you help me please, really stuck on it.

$ serverless invoke local --function create --path mocks/create-event.json

tableName=notes

I am not sure why i am getting the error. Should i change region? I am quite confused on it.

I’m not sure if it’s region related. But we have a note at the end of the chapter to help you debug this error.

Does that help?
