Yeah we make use of streams at my work. Really useful. You can hook up streams to a Lambda and have it process events and flow them downstream to a Data Lake or Data Warehouse for analytic workloads. What works really well is pushing data to an S3 bucket with object versioning and replication enabled.

I think dynamoDB streams and kinesis streams work similar under the hood? But dynamoDB streams are way cheaper, pricing is on-demand compared to hourly for Kinesis.
