Question: Can DynamoDB trigger AWS Step Functions?
Answered by Rafal Wilinski
Answer
Yes, DynamoDB can trigger AWS Step Functions. DynamoDB Streams can trigger AWS Lambda functions, and those Lambda functions can then start an execution of a Step Functions state machine. Additionally, the AWS Step Functions Data Science SDK allows you to use the StepFunctions class to start an execution of a state machine when a DynamoDB event occurs.
