In this is a continuation of Build a Dynamic Conversational Bot. In this lab you will create a product catalog with Amazon DynamoDB and an AWS Lambda function, which will be used as a code hook for your bot. This provides your chatbot with the ability to not only understand user requests but also allow it to trigger actions to fulfill a user request, such as querying a database for product flavors.
