How does serverless handle DynameDb instances? Running sls destory does not remove the DB instance from AWS.

Run sls remove to remove the service

Whoops, yeah I was running sls remove

Tried again and I am getting the same behavior.

You might need to login to your AWS console and go to cloudformation and manually delete the stack that is causing this issue.

@JSafaiyeh the tables DeletionPolicy is set to retain in the example. This means even if you run serverless remove the Table will not be removed to prevent data loss.

You need to go into the console and remove the table manually. Then you can deploy again. Of course you also can change the table name. Let me know if this worked for you 🙂

Does sls remove involve less steps than using the AWS console?
