Connecting to DynamoDB from on-premises web server

My organization has an AWS presence, but no VPN nor Direct Connect to and from our on-premises data center. We would still like to leverage DynamoDB in the short-term without having DirectConnect or a VPN connection in place. We will not be using any EC2 instances for our web services. Is it possible for an on--prem host to talk to DynamoDB without any AWS networking infrastructure in place....basically a call direct to the DynamoDB service without VPN or Direct Connect?

You can use an VPC endpoint gateway to connect your server to Dynamo Db using amazon network

All you need is an Internet connection to access DynamoDB. Your on-premis servers will need to have access to make calls to the AWS API, which is publicly accessible over the Internet.
