Hey guys - is there a plan to support Kinesis Data Streams for DynamoDB? Currently the framework only supports the old style streams

Hey @Michael Clifford, yeah let’s add support it. I was looking for an example of hooking up Kinesis stream to DynamoDB stream in CDK, but didn’t find any. Most examples still use the old style streams.

I haven't but with our use case it will be nice to have DynamoDB->Kinesis Data Stream directly.

Right.. and does ur Kinesis feed into a Lambda?

No, we are using Kinesis Firehose to dump into a S3 bucket

Just looked up the doc, so CDK currently doesn’t support Kinesis stream for DynamoDB. But you can do something like this to set it at the CloudFormation level:

const stream = new kinesis.Stream(this, "MyStream", {...});
const table = new sst.Table(this, "MyTable", {...});
const cfTable = table.dynamodbTable.node.defaultChild as CfnTable;
cfTable.addPropertyOverride('KinesisStreamSpecification.StreamArn', stream.streamArn)

@Frank thank you for this - I'm going to take a look and see what our options are

Hey @Michael Clifford, not sure if you are currently configuring DynamoDB streams and Lambda consumers using SST. There’s a minor change to the input format for the consumers in the v0.21.0 release. Just wanted to give you a heads up. And here are more details on how to migrate to v0.21.0 https://docs.serverless-stack.com/constructs/Table#upgrading-to-v0210

@Frank thanks. We ended up going to CF route because we wanted to utilize Kinesis Data Streams but this is good info.
