* `dynamodb_event_name`: The exact event type for the item. Will be `null` for export items and either `INSERT`, `MODIFY`, or `REMOVE` for stream events.
* `table_name`: The name of the DynamoDB table that an event came from.

This metadata can be used with conditional routing or filtering to handle TTL deletions differently from manual deletions.
