Application Integration
CoreAmazon 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.
