Lambda EventBridge Integration

Learn how to integrate AWS Lambda with Amazon EventBridge to automate workflows and respond to a variety of events across your AWS environment and applications. This integration enables EventBridge to trigger Lambda functions based on predefined event patterns, scheduled tasks, or custom application events.

EventBridge can automatically invoke a Lambda function when it detects a matching event pattern. For instance, a Lambda function can be triggered when specific events occur in an AWS service, making it easier to build reactive and automated systems.

In addition to AWS service events, EventBridge responds to custom events generated by your applications. This capability covers scenarios such as:

• A new object added to an Amazon S3 bucket
• Data modifications (insertion or deletion) in a DynamoDB table
• State changes in Amazon EC2 instances (start, stop, termination)

EventBridge also supports scheduled events, allowing you to run Lambda functions on a regular interval—similar to a cron job. Whether you need a weekly report or a routine maintenance task every Sunday, EventBridge’s scheduling capabilities can automate these processes.

Moreover, you can send custom events from your own applications to an EventBridge event bus. This capability enables you to trigger Lambda functions based on application-specific conditions, ensuring that your system responds dynamically to real-time events.

EventBridge further integrates with various Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers. This integration allows external application events to trigger Lambda functions, extending the reach of your automation beyond AWS.

Finally, EventBridge supports cross-account event handling. You can receive events from other AWS accounts, making it an ideal solution for centralized event management and cross-account automation.
