# Amazon DynamoDB Events

> Ingest Amazon DynamoDB management and data events — API calls, table operations, and item-level activity via CloudTrail.

Amazon DynamoDB doesn't emit logs of its own — instead, table operations, control-plane API calls, and (when enabled) item-level data events are recorded in [AWS CloudTrail](./aws-cloudtrail).

<Note>
  DynamoDB Streams is a separate, application-facing change-data-capture feature for items in a table. This page covers operational and audit-event ingestion via CloudTrail; DynamoDB Streams is out of scope here.
</Note>

## Recommended method

[**EventBridge API Destinations**](./aws-eventbridge) — a CloudTrail-driven EventBridge rule delivers DynamoDB events to Bronto in real time over HTTPS, with no intermediate storage.

## Alternatives

* [**CloudWatch Log Forwarder**](./aws-client-cloudwatch) — when CloudTrail is configured to publish to a CloudWatch Log Group.

See [Ingesting AWS Data into Bronto](./aws-overview) for the full service-to-method mapping.
