Replace the table name and use the below query to get the data on your local environment:

aws dynamodb scan --table-name  --select "COUNT" --endpoint-url http://localhost:8000

Replace the table name and remove the endpoint url to get the data on production environment

aws dynamodb scan --table-name  --select "COUNT"
