How to fix TableInUseException: A table operation is currently in progress in DynamoDB

# List recent table operations
aws dynamodb describe-table --table-name YourTableName

# Check for specific operation status
aws dynamodb describe-table --table-name YourTableName \
  --query 'Table.TableStatus'

// Simple polling function
async function waitForTableActive(tableName) {
  while (true) {
    const { Table } = await dynamodb.describeTable({
      TableName: tableName
    }).promise();

    if (Table.TableStatus === 'ACTIVE') {
      return true;
    }

    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 5000));
  }
}

// Using a simple lock mechanism
const lockTable = 'TableOperationLocks';

async function withTableLock(tableName, operationName, callback) {
  // Attempt to acquire lock
  // Execute operation
  // Release lock
}

#!/bin/bash
TABLE_NAME="YourTableName"

# Check status before attempting update
status=$(aws dynamodb describe-table \
  --table-name "$TABLE_NAME" \
  --query 'Table.TableStatus' \
  --output text)

if [ "$status" = "ACTIVE" ]; then
  # Perform update
  aws dynamodb update-table --table-name "$TABLE_NAME" ...
else
  echo "Table is $status, waiting..."
  exit 1
fi
