AWS EventBridge
What is Amazon EventBridge?
EventBridge is a serverless service that connects application components using events. It routes events from custom apps, AWS services, and third-party software, simplifying how you receive, filter, transform, and deliver events.
EventBridge Features
Key Benefits
- Automatic routing: Route events to relevant services automatically
- High volume: Handle large event volumes during peak times
- Independence: Each service works independently
- Reliability: Stores events if a service fails and processes them when available
Example: Food Delivery Service
When a customer places an order, EventBridge routes events to trigger each step:
- Payment: Process the customer's payment
- Restaurant: Notify to start preparing the meal
- Inventory: Check ingredient availability
- Delivery: Dispatch a driver
Events like "order placed" or "payment completed" flow to each service, ensuring smooth operation.
