Writing to a Kinesis Stream Using the AWS Lambda Feature

Question

Is it possible to create a Lambda function that can be executed when we write a record to a Dynamo DB table, and this record is written to a Kinesis stream? Basically, can we write a Kinesis stream using the lambda function? If yes, please share a sample code for this. I also want to know how this works ..... Thanks.

Answer 1

Yes. You can create a Dynamo trigger supported by the lambda function and include this lambda function in the stream.

Here's a walkthrough showing how to create a trigger:
