6 years ago I think describe is not enough, as describe only provides data about the hash/sort keys on the table and on any indexes, so we have to do scan/query to fetch all the attributes.
Yes, DynamoDB is schema-less, but most of the time the tables have more or less clear if not fixed structure.
On every Scan/Query done, get all the attributes (name and type) and set them for the table (and also persist), so on the app run read the stored attributes for the table.
