- EventSubscription: Configures delivery of Benchling events to external systems via AWS EventBridge. Event subscriptions enable real-time integration by streaming events (such as entity creation, updates, or workflow state changes) to a customer's AWS EventBridge event bus. The subscription includes the destination AWS ARN (see `destinationAddress`), routing metadata, and lifecycle management through expiration (see `expiresAt`) and pause controls. Paused subscriptions stop emitting events but retain their configuration for later resumption. Event subscriptions are typically managed through Benchling Apps (see `BenchlingApp`).

  - `awsRegion` string, nullable: The AWS region of the eventbridge subscription.

  - `destinationAddress` string, nullable: The AWS ARN of the EventBridge event bus that Benchling will deliver events to.
  - `destinationMetadata` EventSubscriptionDestinationMetadata: Semi-structured metadata used for routing events.
