I was pretty fascinated to read about the introduction of Amazon's DynamoDB 
Streams <http://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/dynamodb-streams-preview/>. Given 
there are DynamoDB based community journal/snapshot store plugins for 
akka-persistence, I was wondering whether anyone else was thinking that the 
new Streams feature could offer a way to construct CQRS style read models 
from events being journaled to DynamoDB?

We obviously have PersistentView to play with, although it's still very 
much work in progress with regard to having a CQRS/DDD compatible 
implementation of it. I've seen mention on the mailing list (from Martin K) 
of maintaining read models via a Cassandra -> Spark -> Read Model workflow. 
Am I right in thinking that the use of DynamoDB -> DynamoDB Stream -> Read 
Model is essentially analogous to this?

I think this could be interesting to people who, for example, aren't able 
to practically or financially afford to run and maintain a Cassandra 
cluster.

Would be interested in others' opinions on this.
