AWS DynamoDB Stream example for App?

I used Firebase to create a chat app. But I plan to move the backend from google to AWS. I found that DynamoDB support a Stream function is very similar to Firebase in AWS Website.

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/Streams.html

If someone adds a new message. Firebase and DynamoDB will notify clients the change. It is the basic feature of a chat app. Looks like DynamoDB Stream should be an alternative of Firebase.

But I notice that the documents and examples of DynamoDB Stream is very rare. And the weirdest is the tutorial has been removed

https://aws.amazon.com/getting-started/projects/build-mobile-messaging-app-ios/?nc1=h_ls

Click Get Started will be redirected to MobileHub.

I wonder if the DynamoDB Stream function is not supported in the future? And this service will be replaced by MobileHub.

And I used another function of MobileHub in another app development. But not figure out how to use MobileHub to build a chatting function

If I want to use AWS to build a chat app. What is the best solution? Is any useful example or tutorial for DynamoDB Stream? Thanks very much.

This is how I would solve it,

These things are not yet wired up yet. Here is how you can do it.

DynamoDB (Streams) --> Lambda --> SNS

Subscribe to streams, changes will be delivered to your Lambda, you can customize how the message should look like and send notification with SNS.

Hope it helps.
