services:
  dynamodb:
    container_name: logistics-api-offline-dynamodb
    image: amazon/dynamodb-local
    ports:
      - '8000:8000'
    working_dir: /home/dynamodblocal
    command: '-jar DynamoDBLocal.jar -sharedDb -dbPath ./'

[optional] You can use npx dynamodb-admin -H localhost to view and access your database.

Installation

npm i -D serverless-offline-dynamodb

Add serverless-offline-dynamodb into plugins section of your serverless configuration (be sure to include it BEFORE serverless-offline)

Data Seed:

To seed data, just create a folder called seed on project root and put a json file with exact same name of table you want to seed.
