Amazon EventBridge now supports 22 additional Amazon CloudWatch metrics that enable you to monitor the performance of your event buses and proactively identify when you may need to increase your service quotas. Publishing events to an event bus now includes metrics such as API latency, event payload size, as well as number of successful, failed, and throttled events. For invocations, where EventBridge delivers an event to a target, such as Amazon Lambda, new metrics provide visibility into retries, throttling, and end-to-end latency including the time it takes for a target to respond. These metrics provide deeper insight into your event-driven applications, and allow you to quickly identify and resolve issues as they arise.

Amazon EventBridge Event Bus is a serverless event router that enables you to create highly scalable event-driven applications by routing events between your own applications, third-party SaaS applications, and other Amazon Web Services services. You can set up rules to determine where to send your events, allowing for applications to react to changes in your systems as they occur. Event Buses make it easier to build event-driven applications by facilitating event ingestion, delivery, security, authorization, and error handling.

Additional Event Bus metrics are available in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD, at no additional cost.
