I would normally handle the task of sending an email after a new DynamoDB entry with Lambda and SES but I'm required to not use Lambda for it. There's a 'Contact us' section in the website and the email needs to be sent every time a new entry is made. We use API Gateway to post the data to DyanmoDB Is there a way to carry this out without Lambda?

DynamoDB triggers Lambda functions by feeding the records of a DynamoDB Stream to the Lambda function. That is by far the easiest way to process updates to a DynamoDB table, but you can also write other code that processes a DynamoDB outside of Lambda: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/Streams.html

It's not possible without writing code. Furthermore you may probably want to tailor each email to make it more personal to the user, thus Lambda is a must.

You could design something using EventBridge Pipes which can trigger when a new user is added and can have SNS as a destination which could trigger an email. But that email may not be customizable nor may it send to people not subscribed to the topic
