API calls return `{status: false}` (Error 500) on deploy step

Following guide, on this step: http://serverless-stack.com/chapters/deploy-the-apis.html

Running this piece returns tokens just fine

aws cognito-idp admin-initiate-auth \
  --region us-east-1 \
  --user-pool-id $MY_COGNITO_USER_POOL_ID \
  --client-id $MY_COGNITO_APP_CLIENT_ID \
  --auth-flow ADMIN_NO_SRP_AUTH \
  --auth-parameters USERNAME=[e-mail],PASSWORD=Passw0rd!

I take the value of idToken returned and put into the example call from the same page of the guide, replacing my values as necessary. Looks similar to:

curl https://<my-app-id>.execute-api.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/prod/notes/ \
  -H "Authorization: <my-identity-token>" \
  -d "{\"content\":\"hello world\",\"attachment\":\"hello.jpg\"}

But I get back a 500 error with the body of {success: false}

Tests run from CLI using event.json worked fine.

How could I debug this? Typically I would toss a console.log around here: https://github.com/AnomalyInnovations/serverless-stack-demo-api/blob/master/get.js#L27

I was having the same issue. Mine was due to a region mismatch since my DynamoDB table was created in us-west-2 while the lambda function was set-up for us-east-1.

Specifically, insert the region where your DyanmoDB table is created in the following line Resource: "arn:aws:dynamodb:DYNAMO_DB_REGION_HERE:*:*" in serverless.yml

Can you double check in your DynamoDB console and ensure the key names for ‘notes’ table are ‘userId’ and ‘noteId’. Both key names are in camel case with capital ‘I’.
