Question: Can DynamoDB trigger AWS Lambda?
Answered by Rafal Wilinski
Answer
Yes, DynamoDB can trigger AWS Lambda. This can be done by configuring a DynamoDB Stream on the DynamoDB table and then connecting the stream to a Lambda function using an AWS Lambda trigger. When an item is added, updated, or deleted in the DynamoDB table, the corresponding stream event will trigger the connected Lambda function to run. This allows for real-time processing of DynamoDB data using Lambda.
