 When the Scorekeep API runs in AWS Elastic Beanstalk, it uses the permissions of its EC2 instance to call AWS. Elastic Beanstalk provides a default instance profile that you can extend to grant the application the permissions it needs to read from and write to resource tables in DynamoDB.

 When you run both the API and frontend in the same Elastic Beanstalk environment, CORS is not required because the scripts that contact the API and the API itself are hosted on the same domain. If you want to run the frontend on a different port locally, or even host it on a completely different domain, add an allowed origin to the filter to whitelist it in the API.
