Description

This is a Feature Proposal

Dynamo Streams are very useful for queue management. Depending on the system, queues (through streams) can trigger complex distributed applications which require state machine-style lambda invoking. It would be far more efficient to use a state machine since invoking lambdas takes ~150ms with an 'event' type. However, if we need to use a lambda to start the state machine, much of the efficiency is lost since this takes a similar amount of time

Request:
Add streams to the HTTP and scheduled events

Research direction

Start by tracing how HTTP and scheduled events are handled in the plugin, then check the Serverless and AWS event configuration needed for Dynamo Streams. Done means streams can trigger the state-machine integration without an intermediary Lambda while the existing event behavior remains intact.
