Use AWS CDK to Deploy a DynamoDB Table

Here a typo in min 1:45 is dynamo.Table instead of dynamo.table

I keep getting this error when running "cdk deploy"

throw new Error('construct does not have an associated node. All constructs must extend the "Construct" base class');

anyone else having this issue?

I am also having that issue

Hey, here is an issue that should hopefully solve your problem. We will look into the validity of the course with the mismatched versions in mind. https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/issues/20370

Yeah this tutorial is broken. I'm unable to do a 'cdk deploy' as well. This tutorial needs to be updated to be compatible with aws-cdk v2.

Solution I found was to do the following:

1. cdk init <app-name> --language typescript This init builds with v2 of the aws-cdk, while the --language javascript in this tutorial defaults to v1.
2. Modify nextjs-dynamodb-stack.js to be... import { Stack, StackProps } from 'aws-cdk-lib'; import { Construct } from 'constructs';

import * as dynamodb from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-dynamodb';

export class NextjsDynamodbStack extends Stack { constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props?: StackProps) { super(scope, id, props);

new dynamodb.Table(this, 'Items', {
  partitionKey: { name: 'id', type: dynamodb.AttributeType.STRING },
  billingMode: dynamodb.BillingMode.PAY_PER_REQUEST,
});

} } 3. cdk bootstrap This is needed if it's your first time to try and do cdk deploy 4. cdk deploy
