+# DynamoDB CLI commands
+
+## Connecting to a local (Docker) DynamoDB instance
+
+In order to distinguish between local and production accounts you should keep
+seperate configs in `.aws/config` and `.aws/credentials`. Then specify the
+profile if you are working locally and the local URL. Without the `--profile`
+flag, AWS will default to the `default` profile which will typically be your
+credentials for accessing AWS on the remote.
+
+```sh
+aws dynamodb list-tables --profile timetracking_dev --endpoint-url
+http://localhost:800
+```
+
+## Delete a table
+
+```sh
+aws dynamodb delete-table --profile timetracking_local --endpoint-url http://localhost:8000 --table-name PersistentTable
+
+```
