The power of Amazon EventBridge is in its detail
Amazon EventBridge — a gem!
Many in the industry hailed the availability of Amazon EventBridge as the next big thing after lambda functions. They indeed have every reason to trumpet their appreciation and adoration for a technology that was made available to use for everyone by Amazon.
You probably know that EventBridge isn’t something completely new from Amazon, but is actually making the technology behind the CloudWatch events publicly available, so that everyone can now create ‘custom’ event buses alongside the existing ‘default’ event bus. The think tank behind this must be lauded for opening up a tonne of new possibilities that offer power, flexibility and most importantly the acceleration towards a ‘functionless’ integration of services!
What is EventBridge?
Amazon EventBridge is a serverless event bus that makes it easier to connect applications with data from a variety of sources. These event sources can be custom applications, AWS services and partner SaaS applications.
It provides a flexible way of filtering to allow events to be published to the event bus, and then, based on the target routing rules, sends the eligible events to the configured target applications or services.
