Amazon EventBridge
Amazon EventBridge is a serverless event bus service that enables applications to communicate using events from various sources, such as AWS services, SaaS applications, and custom applications. It routes events to targets like AWS Lambda functions, Amazon SQS queues, and other AWS services based on defined rules, facilitating decoupled and scalable architectures. It supports event-driven patterns, simplifying integration and automation across distributed systems.
Developers should learn Amazon EventBridge when building event-driven architectures in AWS, as it centralizes event management and reduces coupling between components. It is ideal for scenarios like real-time data processing, microservices coordination, and automating workflows triggered by events from AWS services (e.g., S3 uploads) or third-party SaaS applications (e.g., Salesforce updates). Using EventBridge enhances scalability and reliability by handling event routing and filtering without managing infrastructure.
