I don't see a way to do this with the SST Table construct. This makes me wonder if it's something the SST construct should provide, or if it's not the "sweet spot" for the Table SST abstraction. In other words, is it fair to say that SST aiming to make the common case easier and not cover all use-cases supported by CDK?

Hi @Seth Geoghegan, we will let you pass in a

cdk.Table

construct to the

sst.Table

construct in the coming releases.

This probably doesn’t make sense right now, but when we add DynamoDB streams support to

sst.Table

, you will be able to do something like:

Copy code

new sst.Table(this, "Table", {
  fields: { ... },
  primaryIndex: { ... },
  subscribers: { ... },
});

Where you can simply define the function code to be trigger when ie. a new item is written to the table

And if you need to Table options that are not yet supported by

sst.Table

, you can simply create your table and pass in like:

Copy code

new sst.Table(this, "Table", {
  table: new cdk.Table(...),
  subscribers: { ... },
});

I see, sounds like there are big plans! Nice to see there will be an "escape hatch" option to support features that aren't yet natively supported in SST

Yup we want to make sure with these constructs that there is a way out — https://docs.serverless-stack.com/design-principles#having-an-escape-hatch

Ahh, there it is. Makes sense as you continue to bring functionality online.
