Monitoring best practices for event delivery with Amazon EventBridge

This article discusses monitoring best practices for reliable event delivery with Amazon EventBridge using various metrics. It highlights the importance of monitoring to detect and mitigate event delivery issues caused by underperforming or undersized targets.

Specifically, the article covers:

• Background on EventBridge's serverless architecture and shared responsibility model
• Key EventBridge metrics like SuccessfulInvocationAttempts, RetryInvocationAttempts, FailedInvocations, and IngestionToInvocationSuccessLatency
• Use cases demonstrating how to detect event delivery issues due to target rate limiting, failures after maximum retries, and increased end-to-end latency
• Calculating a custom SuccessfulInvocationRate metric and setting up CloudWatch alarms for monitoring
• Conclusion emphasizing the importance of monitoring EventBridge metrics to build resilient, scalable, event-driven applications
