Share your experience using Amazon EventBridge

I use Amazon EventBridge for triggering the Lambda for certain events. It is also used to notify on Slack if there is any image push on the ECR repository.

What is most valuable?

Amazon EventBridge allows for customization at my level, providing many options for determining which services are dependent, what account to use, and when the Lambda will trigger. It is crucial if I need to trigger a Lambda with scheduling a cron job or setting a timing. With EventBridge, I can run automatic Lambda at a particular time in a day or an hour.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using it since last week.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

It's very fast and takes around fifteen minutes to deploy.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the stability eight out of ten because sometimes I need to monitor EventBridge since there are occasions where it is not triggering. Some people have mentioned facing issues with it.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate the scalability nine out of ten. It's pretty scalable.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I did not previously use a different solution before EventBridge.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is easy and not a challenge. It's so easy that anyone can do it.

What other advice do I have?

On a scale from one to ten, I would give EventBridge an overall score of nine.

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
