Credentials

By default Benthos will use a shared credentials file when connecting to AWS services. It's also possible to set them explicitly at the component level, allowing you to transfer data across accounts. You can find out more in this document.

Metadata

This input adds the following metadata fields to each message:

You can access these metadata fields using function interpolation.
