Please describe.**\r\nCurrently in feature_store.yaml, we can only specify a region for DynamoDB provider. As a result, it requires an actual DynamoDB to be available when we want to do local development/testing or integration testing in a sandbox environment. \r\n\r\n**Describe the solution you'd like**\r\nA way to solve this is to let user pass an endpoint_url. More information can be found [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/DynamoDBLocal.UsageNotes.html). \r\nThis way, users can install and run a [local dynamoDB](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/DynamoDBLocal.html), and use it as an online store locally. \r\nThe is especially useful when:\r\n\r\n- accessing real DynamoDB requires a tedious and time-consuming steps (e.g.: IAM role set up, permissions, etc.) and these steps can be deferred later,\r\n- integration testing locally, in docker, in Jenkins\r\n\r\n**Describe alternatives you've considered**\r\nN/A\r\n\r\n**Additional context**\r\nNot much but the initial slack thread can be found [here](https://tectonfeast.slack.com/archives/C01MSKCMB37/p1646166683447239), which was followed by a slack message from our team member\r\n![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/59895578/156633577-aa24f426-a350-4d0d-ba93-e71d5e350df0.png)\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/vlin-lgtm","@type":"Person","name":"vlin-lgtm"},"datePublished":"2022-03-03T19:00:32.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":3},"url":"https://github.com/2358/feast/issues/2358"}
