> you can't Chaos-Monkey DynamoDB

I bet you could achieve this effect by either temporarily decreasing provisioned throughput, or inserting clientside middleware that occasionally refuses to do a DynamoDB op.

The middleware would be best option. Put it between your code and the calls and then have it able to throw random errors.

But it means you have to write the middleware and have it be it's own source of bugs, which is still better than nothing, but another risk.
