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.
