Question

I have a Next.js app deployed on Amplify and I'd like to connect to DynamoDB from one API Route.

Is it possible to use the credentials provided by the service account instead of having to manage a set of AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY (plus having to rename them since the AWS_ environment variables are reserved)?

I tried adding the DynamoDB admin policy to the service role but it does not seem to work.
