## Table Items

Items in the `dynamodb` table must have three attributes:

- `id` (string): The id is the primary key.
- `name`(string): The name is used as the name of the frontend or backend.
- `frontend` or `backend` (map): This attribute's structure matches exactly the structure of a Frontend or Backend type in Traefik.  
    See `types/types.go` for details.  
    The presence or absence of this attribute determines its type.
    So an item should never have both a `frontend` and a `backend` attribute.
