Disable dynamodb Stream using aws sdk javascript

Question

Is there a way to disable a Dynamodb stream using aws sdk javascript?

I need to stop streaming data to my lambda function while I'm doing some maintenance to other services.

Do you want the solution on Javascript only or is it ok to provide solution on AWS management console ? — notionquest
I would like to know the solution on Javascript if it's possible. In the management console I already know where I can disable the stream. — JosepB

You can use updateTable API to disable the stream specification.

var dynamodb = new AWS.DynamoDB();
var params = {
  TableName: 'yourTableName', 
  StreamSpecification: {
    StreamEnabled: true    
  }
};

dynamodb.updateTable(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Note:-

I have not tested it as I don't have Streams on my table. However, the above code should work.
