Description

Other AWS SDKs have "waiters," that allow developers to verify that a resource is in a desired state before their program proceeds. For example, ensuring a new DynamoDB table is in an "ACTIVE" state before attempting to write to it. Currently, .NET developers need to write a while loop, and manage retries, and know the needed state (via documentation) to achieve the same result as what is provided via waiters.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by comparing waiter support in other AWS SDKs and the DynamoDB resource-state example; clarify the .NET SDK scope and acceptance criteria for replacing caller-managed polling, retries, and state checks.
