Amazon EventBridge
#87 · Level 3 · Modern architecture · Application IntegrationConcept
Section titled “Concept”Amazon EventBridge is a serverless event bus. An event is a description of something that happened, such as “a new file arrived in S3” or “an EC2 instance stopped”. Many AWS services, your own apps and some SaaS apps can send their events to EventBridge. Rules decide which event goes to which target, such as Lambda, SQS or Step Functions. With its EventBridge Scheduler you can run tasks at a set time, and with Pipes you can connect two services directly.
Simple example
Section titled “Simple example”A post office sorting center — it looks at the address on each letter and sends it to the right bag.
Why it’s needed
Section titled “Why it’s needed”Building direct connections between many systems creates a tangle. When one central place sends events based on rules, the systems stay independent.
Where it’s used
Section titled “Where it’s used”“Run Lambda when a file arrives in S3”, “start a job every night at 2 AM”, and receiving events from other SaaS apps.
