Initialize a DynamoDB client in Go using the AWS SDK v2 with your region and default credentials.

Use the official AWS SDK for Go v2 to connect to DynamoDB by initializing a client with your region and credentials.

import (
	"context"
	"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/config"
	"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/service/dynamodb"
)

func main() {
	cfg, err := config.LoadDefaultConfig(context.TODO(), config.WithRegion("us-east-1"))
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	svc := dynamodb.NewFromConfig(cfg)
	_ = svc
}
