Automated event monitoring has improved alerting and simplifies scheduling for data workflows
The best features Amazon EventBridge offers include the ability to integrate multiple AWS services such as SNS, Lambda, SQS, and ECS with Amazon EventBridge. You can filter events based on routing rules, and it is serverless and easy to auto-scale. You can also manage event routing across cross-accounts and schedule cron jobs inside Amazon EventBridge, which provides numerous use cases. The impact of Amazon EventBridge on my organization is very positive. I can directly receive notifications via Amazon EventBridge because I have integrated my Redshift queries inside my JSON payload, and I receive notifications over email as well as over Squadcast based on the events triggered from the Redshift side. Amazon EventBridge helps reduce manual work significantly. Previously, when I did not receive Redshift events and my Redshift query got stuck, which mainly happened during maintenance time and impacted the customer side, I had no way to address it. By monitoring those Redshift query events inside Amazon EventBridge, I can receive timely alerts via Squadcast, allowing me to monitor and fix the respective issues with the help of the Redshift data team.

Role-based access to queues, giving us more insights into problems
* We now have the possibility of getting a central perspective on all tenants. * We have defined access roles for developers. Therefore, they can 'read in' their queues on the development and testing stages. With special roles, they may also write. This improves our development and testing cycle. * For operative systems, we have restricted the access. Still, selected people can react if something is happening in the various BOQs.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"The impact of Amazon EventBridge on my organization is very positive."
"It has self-explanatory documentation and works with most projects."
"It's very simple to set up our cron with Amazon EventBridge."
"Amazon EventBridge is very flexible."
"The best feature is that it allows you to perform recurring tasks efficiently."
"The ability for development teams to have access to their MQ queues has freed us up as administrators to do things other than chase down an application’s message for research purposes."
"IR360 does not require a large team to manage our entire middleware estate and allows the leveraging of a logical model of reuse."
"We have easily created use case testing harnesses for specific flows that incorporate various message types."
"Administration, Monitoring, and Delegation are the most valuable features of the solution."
"I highly recommend Infrared360 for an all-in-one IBM MQ tool."
"It has role-based access to queues, giving us more insights into problems."
"One way it's helped the business is how you're able to empower MQ users, without your administrators, to be able to do different types of processes in the environment."
"It allows non-technical users to inspect their individual components within the total infrastructure without disturbing other components and without bothering the technical teams."
 

Cons

"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."
"Currently, it only supports triggering one job at a time. It would be helpful if it could handle multiple jobs or triggers simultaneously. What I mean is that currently, we can only perform one job at a time."
"It would be easy if we had an option to select multiple things to run the script from Monday to Friday."
"Amazon EventBridge can be improved as there are numerous use cases, but it is not able to handle as many events as compared to other tools such as Kafka or RabbitMQ."
"Amazon EventBridge doesn't have the feature of event replay."
"It would be good if the solution provided a feature to add multiple Cron expressions in one rule."
"We definitely need a better overview in terms of a dashboard giving us insights."
"We desire a dashboard that could accumulate BOQ lengths per tenant on one screen for all tenants."
"The UI can be cumbersome - but we are still using the Viper interface and we have not had the time to check out the Alloy interface which is supposed to be much improved."
"The user interface could be sexier and more ergonomic. The competing products have similar problems."
"We are still working with the FTE/MFT subscription monitoring and reporting functionality. That is an area in which we would like to see further development taking place."
"Some of the graphics in the interface could be improved. It's pretty basic. Some interfaces are not up to what you're used to seeing on other, more Windows-like tools."
"One area where they could improve is with their documentation. Some sections are not up to date with new release information and providing additional samples in some areas would be very helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Amazon EventBridge's pricing is pretty cheap."
"Our internal budget calculation model incorporates the pricing per endpoint for any new projects. However, as our footprint for distributed queue managers shrinks as part of our shared middleware hub deployment, the initial licensing and support costs have been reduced over the last five years."
"Because the licensing is at the QMGR level, you need to have at least a small cushion of licenses for occasional enterprise needs."
"Start small, then increase licensing later as per your demand."
"Avada Software's licensing metric is very good because the license fees are based on the number of connections (which have not increased for us very much over the years) rather than the CPU processing power (which increases significantly whenever our hardware is upgraded) or the number of users (which has increased for us a lot since our original purchase)."
