Configuration Purpose

The StreamSpecification.StreamEnabled property is used to indicate whether DynamoDB Streams is enabled (true) or disabled (false) on the table.

Command Use-cases

• Useful for optimizing resource allocation and managing cost of integrations
• Useful for data engineers installing streams used for delivering data to their own microservices and generate reports
• Useful for operations engineers who need to implement cross-region backups using DynamoDB streams.
• Useful for newly installed engineering managers who needs to understand the landscape of infrastructure he/she will be taking over.

Tips

• Enabled streams, especially if they're in high numbers, can impact the performance of your DynamoDB tables, so keeping an eye on this distribution helps in maintaining optimal performance
• Knowing the distribution of streaming usage provide insights into how your team is utilizing features or lack of awareness.
• Finding a small number of enabled DynamoDB streams (Outliers) can be useful when identifying cause of data-leakage. Understanding this distribution is key for maintaining security.
