However some, like DynamoDB, can take a `table_name` argument, making it a statically named resource. There are a lot of use cases this can benefit, one I've used it for was for a table that needed to be accessed by both dev and prod environments, and so needed to be recreated (using `from_table_attributes` instead of `from_table_name` so that we have access to any streams) for non-prod environments for access.
