To be fair, you can run DynamoDB locally: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerg...

DynamoDB-Local is a service that implements DynamoDB's API, including its query language, datatypes, and grammar, but stores everything in SQLite. It's great for playing with the API or substituting a mock implementation that doesn't drain your wallet, but it's very unlikely have the backend implementation and the performance characteristics -- or even all of the exact bugs -- of "real" DynamoDB.
last time I used this, it had many significant differences from the real DynamoDB. Different enough that I don't really understand what purpose DynamoDB Local is actually supposed to serve.
Ah, I wonder if this was true a few years ago (early 2014) when I was working with it.
