@tables-streams

Define Lambda functions for streaming changes from DynamoDB tables. Respond to insert, update, and destroy events with a handler function.

AWS DynamoDB Streams

Syntax

• Name
  • Lowercase alphanumeric string
  • Must match a @tables name

Table streams can use more verbose configuration to allow for custom source paths and names in your project. This is beneficial when creating more than one stream function for a single table. Optionally provide a name and/or src for each table stream.

• name - a string as defined in @tables
• src - path to the function source

Example

This app.arc file defines a table with a corresponding stream handler:

@app
testapp

@tables
people
  pplID *String

@tables-streams
people
# verbose custom source:
a-named-table-stream
 table people
 src custom/source

{
  "app": "testapp",
  "tables": [
    {
      "people": {
        "pplID": "*String"
      }
    }
  ],
  "tables-streams": [
    "people",
    {
      "a-named-table-stream": {
        "name": "people",
        "src": "custom/source"
      }
    }
  ]
}

app: testapp

tables:
- people:
    pplID: "*String"

tables-streams:
- people
# verbose custom source:
- "a-named-table-stream":
    name: "people"
    src: "custom/source"

⚠️ Unfortunately, “dynalite” (used under the hood in Architect Sandbox) doesn’t support streams, so emulation isn’t yet supported for local development.
