Amazon EventBridge is a serverless event bus that makes it easy to connect applications together using data from your own applications, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications, and AWS services. EventBridge delivers a stream of real-time data from event sources, such as Zendesk, Datadog, or Pagerduty, and routes that data to targets like AWS Lambda. You can set up routing rules to determine where to send your data to build application architectures that react in real time to all of your data sources. EventBridge makes it easy to build event-driven applications because it takes care of event ingestion and delivery, security, authorization, and error handling for you.

| DevOps Engineer at Burns & McDonnell | 4.5 | I use EventBridge for Lambda triggers and notifications, appreciating its customization and easy setup. While it's very scalable, I've noticed occasional triggering issues, giving it an overall score of nine. |
| SDE at Readyly | 4.5 | I find Amazon EventBridge useful as a scheduler, particularly for recurring tasks such as notification alerts. However, it currently only supports triggering one job at a time, limiting the ability to perform multiple simultaneous tasks. |
| Software Developer II at CSG | 5.0 | We use Amazon EventBridge to schedule automation, finding it simple to set up cron jobs. However, improvements are needed for easier scheduling across multiple days, like an option to select days instead of scripting for each. |
| Software Engineer at Readyly | 4.5 | I use Amazon EventBridge for scheduling periodic tasks, like running programs every hour, utilizing flexible cron expressions. Its ability to trigger Lambda functions is valuable, though I wish it supported multiple cron expressions per rule. |
| Cloud Architect at a transportation company with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | Amazon EventBridge is extensively used for cloud scaling and application launching, offering serverless architecture and integration ease. However, it lacks event replay features and async documentation, hindering debugging and comprehensive API insights for asynchronous models. |
