There are many posts around Playwright .NET. These cover set up and running it against hosted sites.

What I didn’t find many posts on, was running Playwright .NET using Microsofts WebApplicationFactory. Why? Because it isn’t as simple as implementing the WebApplicationFactory with Playwright .NET and hitting run.

Before getting into the post, I want to give a shout out to Martin Costello. By viewing his solution in GitHub I was able to get my solution working and to write up this post.

Let’s start this post by looking at DynamoDBs PutItem.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a cloud services platform, they offer compute power, database storage, content delivery and other functionality that help users build and host infranstatuce.

This blog post is the first part of a series where I will go through how to interact with different components that AWS offer.

The first part of the series will look at DynamoDB, this series will also be broken into separate parts so each blog post will focus on one or two pieces of functionality from each feature.

In this blog we will be looking at creating a DynamoDB client, then using that client to create a DynamoDB Table.
