What is Amazon EventBridge?
Amazon EventBridge is a serverless event bus used to build event-driven applications at scale using events generated from applications, integrated Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications, and AWS services. EventBridge delivers a stream of real-time data from event sources such as Zendesk or Shopify to targets like AWS Lambda and other SaaS applications. The user can set up routing rules to determine where to send data to build application architectures that react in real-time to data sources with event publisher and consumer completely decoupled.
EventBridge connects applications using events. An event is a signal that a system’s state has changed, such as a change in the status of a customer support ticket. Customers can integrate their own AWS applications with microservices, SaaS applications, and custom applications as event sources that publish events to an event bus. The EventBridge user can define a filtering rule to filter events and route events to AWS service targets and API destinations (via HTTP endpoints). EventBridge schema registry stores schema generated by an organization’s applications, AWS services, or SaaS applications. A schema includes information such as the title, format and validation rules for event data. Users can download code bindings for any schema in the registry in your IDE and directly use the strongly-typed object representing the event in code.

Use cases
Re-architecting for speed
Use EventBridge to accelerate modernizing and re-orchestrating architecture with decoupled services and applications. With EventBridge, there is no need for heavy coordination between event producer and consumer applications or services. You can speed up your organization’s development process by allowing teams to iterate on features without explicit dependencies between systems.
Monitoring and Auditing
EventBridge users can monitor and audit AWS environments and respond to operational changes in applications in real-time to prevent infrastructure vulnerabilities. For example, when resources are accessed by cross-accounts or public accounts, users can configure an Amazon Access Analyzer event to be generated and sent to an AWS Lambda Function using EventBridge to remove the unintended permissions.
Extend functionality via SaaS integrations
Extend the functionality of applications by connecting them to other SaaS applications via EventBridge. For example, users can send custom events to EventBridge when a new user has been created in a free tier and send that event via API Destinations to Zendesk CRM.
Customize SaaS with AI/ML
Users can enrich events from SaaS applications using AWS Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning services and gain valuable insights. For example, the user can load data from Shopify to EventBridge to trigger a workflow and use AI services such as Amazon Comprehend for image tagging of new retail products.
