AWS Troubleshooting: How to Fix 'Failed to Fetch' Error

Select Language:

If you’re seeing the error message “DynamoDB Failed to fetch” only in the US East (N. Virginia) region and everything works fine in the Seoul region, you’re likely facing a regional issue. Here’s how to troubleshoot and fix the problem:

First, check if there are any ongoing outages or maintenance activities in the US East (N. Virginia) region. Amazon Web Services (AWS) sometimes has outages that affect specific regions, which can cause these kinds of errors. You can visit the AWS Service Health Dashboard to see if there are any reported problems.

Next, verify your network connection and configuration. Sometimes, network issues or firewall settings can block access to DynamoDB in a particular region. Make sure that your network allows outbound traffic to AWS services in the US East region.

Also, confirm that your DynamoDB table and resources are properly set up in the US East region. If your code or application is configured to connect to the wrong region, it can cause these errors. Double-check that your app is pointing to us-east-1, and not some other region.

If your settings are correct and there’s no outage, the problem could be with your AWS permissions or credentials. Make sure the IAM roles or user policies you’re using have the necessary permissions to access DynamoDB in the US East region.

In summary:
– Check AWS Service Health Dashboard for outages in US East.
– Verify your network and firewall configurations.
– Confirm your application is set to connect to the correct region.
– Ensure your permissions allow access to DynamoDB in that region.

Following these steps should help you identify and resolve the issue. If the problem continues, consider reaching out to AWS Support for further assistance.
