Need instructions to set up Dynamo DB locally for Amplify/AppSync applications

Question

Hi There,

We've set up Dynamo DB in AWS successfully.

We need to configure same Dynamo DB in local so to connect amplify/AppSync based applications locally for development & testing.
We couldn't do this successfully based on the standard documentation from AWS.

Would appreciate if there is any new documentation for clear instructions! Much appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks,
Sitaram

Hello
DynamoDB is a cloud service and is not inteneded to be installed on local environment.

You Amplify environment can connect to your database theu AppSync, as you mentionned. It will be using your dynamoDB in you own AWS account. 
This resource may help clarify :https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/amplify-datastore-implementation/amplify-datastore-implementation.html

Hope this helps
