# Connecting Lambda to DynamoDB

Let a function read, write and react to your table

## What this does

Your function needs to work with a DynamoDB table, or run whenever rows in it change. This sets up the permissions and the role, and wires the table's change stream to the function. Reach for it when building something that reacts to data changing.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Give a function access to a DynamoDB table
- Set up the IAM role and read/write permissions
- Have a function run on table stream events
