Create a DynamoDB Table

To use an external DynamoDB table with an application running in Elastic Beanstalk, first create a table in DynamoDB. When you create a table outside of Elastic Beanstalk, it is completely independent of Elastic Beanstalk and your Elastic Beanstalk environments, and will not be terminated by Elastic Beanstalk.

Create a table with the following settings:

• Table name – nodejs-tutorial
• Primary key – email
• Primary key type – String

To create a DynamoDB table

1. Open the Tables page in the DynamoDB management console.
2. Choose Create table.
3. Type a Table name and Primary key.
4. Choose the primary key type.
5. Choose Create.
