DynamoDB Scan Lambda function returns HTTP request or something that I do not understand, but not list of items

I've deployed a Lambda function, which should get list of items with a scan(params, cb) function. In console, I see something different, not the returned list, but something that lookgs like http request body or response?

Can you please explain how to get the list correctly and what do I get?


exports.handler = async (event, context, callback) => {
    console.log('function started')
    let params = {
        TableName: "documents"
    }

    console.log('params get')
    let respond = await db.scan(params, (err, data) => {
        console.log('scan started')
        if (err) console.log(err, err.stack);
        else {
            console.log('else started')

           return data
        }
    })
    console.log('Respons IS: ')
    console.log(respond)
};

The response is a huge huge huge list of something: enter image description here

You are mixing callbacks and async/await ES6 feature.

I advise you to only use the latter in this case.

Here is what it would look like : 

const aws = require('aws-sdk');

const db = new aws.DynamoDB.DocumentClient();

exports.handler = async (event, context) => {
    console.log('function started');
    const params = {
        TableName: "documents"
    };

    console.log('params get');
    const respond = await db.scan(params).promise();
    console.log('Respons IS: ');
    console.log(respond);

    return ...
};
