Application Integration

Core

Amazon EventBridge

Explicit routing, enrichment, troubleshooting, alarm invocation, and event automation skills.

Key points

  • EventBridge rules match event envelopes, can transform selected fields, and route events to authorized targets.

Best-known use cases

  • D1.2 and D3.2: route a matching operational event to a remediation or automation target and troubleshoot each delivery boundary.

What candidates often confuse it with

  • EventBridge selects and routes events; SNS fans out publications, SQS buffers work, and Step Functions coordinates workflow steps.

Key takeaway

For EventBridge questions, verify the bus, pattern, transformation, target permission, and target execution separately.
