Error: read ECONNRESET for DynamoDB put request using DocumentClient - node.js

Question

I am trying to create a new item in my DynamoDB table using the put function for DocumentClient, but am getting an error that references ECONNRESET. When others have referenced ECONNRESET on stack overflow, it seems that it might be a proxy issue for them. I am not sure how I would go about debugging this though.
Here are the docs I have been using:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-javascript/v2/developer-guide/dynamodb-example-document-client.html
https://docs.amplify.aws/guides/functions/dynamodb-from-js-lambda/q/platform/js/
Here is the code
import AWS from 'aws-sdk';
AWS.config.update({region: 'us-east-1'})
const docClient = new AWS.DynamoDB.DocumentClient({apiVersion: '2012-08-10'});
export const createItem = async (tableName, item) => {
const params = {
TableName: tableName,
Item: item
};
console.log(params);
try {
await docClient.put(params).promise();
console.log("Success");
} catch (err) {
console.log(err);
}
}
and here is the error I get
Error: read ECONNRESET

Answer 1

Somebody helped me out. I was using a company CLI via a proxy to do manual local testing. I had to use this command in the CLI pc login aws --shared-credentials which is pretty specific to where I work.
I also had to include this code:
const proxy = require('proxy-agent');
AWS.config.update({
httpOptions: {
agent: proxy(process.env.HTTP_PROXY)
}
});
