Hi,

I would like to discuss about adding Aws EventBridge support to Brighter.

I'm looking is it possible to publish events to Aws EventBridge using Brighter, since EventBridge is using a different approach than SNS (without a Topic).

Any feedbacks would be greatly appreciate. Thank you.

Hey @honkuan86 why do you want support for EventBridge? For Scheduler message (If so we are working on this for V10)?

The key thing to understand on AWS EventBridge is push vs. poll. You can poll from EventBridge, but you can't push to it, say from SNS. But, you can publish from Brighter to an SQS queue, and then EventBridge can read from that queue.

However, if we want to avoid an extra queue, we could use the HTTP interface, and put an event onto EventBridge that way.

I suspect that is what folks want - push to EventBridge without using an SQS queue.

I think we could add that as a transport. It would only really cover the producer though, as the consumer would just be an AWS queue. So it might make sense to add it into the existing AWS client as an alternative producer target. As we now let you choose between SNS and SQS, I guess it might make sense to allow you to choose Event Bridge.

hi @iancooper , what you are suggesting is to add the AWS EventBridge as an alternative producer in the existing MessagingGateway.AWSSQS right ?
