To hook up our server with DynamoDB we chose to utilize the dynamodb package. We used IAM roles to connect our EC2 instance with DynamoDB, so we just needed to pass in an Access Key, Secret Access Key, and region. We used environment variables to hide our private keys so we don't commit them to GitHub by using the dotenv module which allows us to load environment variables from a text file.
