Event Rule

Resource Overview

An Event Rule represents an AWS EventBridge event rule. Event Rules allow you to configure your functions or step functions to be invoked when a message matching the rule is seen on the Event Bus. The triggering message is passed to the target as its input.

Key Features of EventBridge Event Rules include:

• Trigger functions or step functions in response to Event Bus events that match a pattern
• Create Event Rules that monitor the default Event Bus or a custom Event Bus

Event Subscription

Event subscription wires (solid line) visualize and configure event subscription integrations between two resources.

The following resources can be subscribed to an Event Rule:

• Function
• State Machine
