**Getting Started:**
Click the "Deploy" button to clone this repo, create a new Vercel project, setup the AWS integration, and provision a new DynamoDB table:

[![Deploy with Vercel](https://vercel.com/button)](https://vercel.com/new/clone?repository-url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fvercel%2Faws-dynamodb-demo&project-name=aws-dynamodb-demo&repository-name=aws-dynamodb-demo&products=%5B%7B%22type%22%3A%22integration%22%2C%22integrationSlug%22%3A%22aws%22%2C%22productSlug%22%3A%22aws-dynamodb%22%2C%22protocol%22%3A%22storage%22%7D%5D)
