Error: error dynamodb streams must be enabled on the table
What's Causing This Error
This error occurs when the user tries to bind a stream event to a DynamoDB table that has not enabled streams.
Solution: Here's How To Resolve It
To solve this error, enable DynamoDB Streams on the table by using the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or the update_table
method of the boto3 library.
Here is an example of how to enable streams using the boto3 library:
import boto3 # Instantiate a client dynamodb = boto3.client('dynamodb', region_name='us-west-2') # Define the parameters table_name = "my_table" stream_specification = { 'StreamEnabled': True, 'StreamViewType': 'NEW_IMAGE' } # Perform the operation dynamodb.update_table(TableName=table_name, StreamSpecification=stream_specification)
Once the streams are enabled, you can create a Lambda function or Kinesis data stream to process the data.
