Amazon EventBridge introduces enhanced visual rule builder

Amazon EventBridge introduces a new intuitive console based visual rule builder with a comprehensive event catalog for discovering and subscribing to events from custom applications, and over 200 AWS services. The new rule builder integrates the EventBridge Schema Registry with an updated event catalog and intuitive drag and drop canvas that simplifies building event-driven applications. With enhanced rule builder, developers can browse and search through events with readily available sample payloads and schemas, eliminating the need to find and reference individual service documentation. The schema-aware visual builder guides developers through creating event filter patterns and rules, reducing syntax errors and development time. The EventBridge enhanced rule builder is available today in all regions where the Schema Registry is launched. Developers can get started through the Amazon EventBridge console at no additional cost beyond standard EventBridge usage charges. For more information, visit the EventBridge documentation.

Announcing agreement EventBridge notifications for AWS Marketplace

AWS Marketplace now delivers purchase agreement events via Amazon EventBridge, transitioning from our Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) notifications for Software as a Service and Professional Services product types. This enhancement simplifies event-driven workflows for both sellers and buyers by enabling seamless integration of AWS Marketplace Agreements, reducing operational overhead, and improving event monitoring and automation. Marketplace sellers (Independent Software Vendors and Channel Partners) and buyers will receive notifications for all events in the lifecycle of their Marketplace Agreements, including when they are created, terminated, amended, replaced, renewed, cancelled or expired. Additionally, ISVs receive license-specific events to manage customer entitlements. With EventBridge integration, you can route these events to various AWS services such as AWS Lambda, Amazon S3, Amazon CloudWatch, AWS Step Functions, and Amazon SNS, maintaining compatibility with existing SNS-based workflows while gaining advanced routing capabilities. EventBridge notifications are generally available and can be created in AWS US East (N. Virginia) Region. To learn more about AWS Marketplace event notifications, see the AWS Marketplace documentation. You can start using EventBridge notifications today by visiting the Amazon EventBridge console and enabling the ‘aws.agreement-marketplace’ event source.

AWS Lambda announces Provisioned Mode for SQS event source mapping (ESM)

AWS Lambda announces Provisioned Mode for SQS event-source-mappings (ESMs) that subscribe to Amazon SQS, a feature that allows you to optimize the throughput of your SQS ESM by provisioning event polling resources that remain ready to handle sudden spikes in traffic. SQS ESM configured with Provisioned Mode scales 3x faster (up to 1000 concurrent executions per minute) and supports 16x higher concurrency (up to 20,000 concurrent executions) than default SQS ESM capability. This allows you to build highly responsive and scalable event-driven applications with stringent performance requirements. Customers use SQS as an event source for Lambda functions to build mission-critical applications using Lambda’s fully-managed SQS ESM, which automatically scales polling resources in response to events. However, for applications that need to handle unpredictable bursts of traffic, lack of control over the throughput of ESM can lead to delays in event processing. Provisioned Mode for SQS ESM allows you to fine tune the throughput of the ESM by provisioning a minimum and maximum number of polling resources called event pollers that are ready to handle sudden spikes in traffic. With this feature, you can process events with lower latency, handle sudden traffic spikes more effectively, and maintain precise control over your event processing resources. This feature is generally available in all AWS Commercial Regions. You can activate Provisioned Mode for SQS ESM by configuring a minimum and maximum number of event pollers in the ESM API, AWS Console, AWS CLI, AWS SDK, AWS CloudFormation, and AWS SAM. You pay for the usage of event pollers, along a billing unit called Event Poller Unit (EPU). To learn more, read Lambda ESM documentation and AWS Lambda pricing.

Amazon Connect now provides metrics on completion of agent performance evaluations by managers

Amazon Connect now provides metrics that measure completion of agent performance evaluations, improving manager productivity and evaluation consistency. Businesses can monitor if the required number of evaluations for their agents have been completed, ensuring compliance with internal policies (e.g., complete 5 evaluations per agent per month), regulatory requirements, and labor union agreements. Additionally, businesses can analyze evaluation scoring patterns across different managers, to identify opportunities to improve evaluation consistency and accuracy. These insights are available in real-time through analytics dashboards in the Connect UI, and APIs. This feature is available in all regions where Amazon Connect is offered. To learn more, please visit our documentation and our webpage.

AWS CloudFormation Hooks adds granular invocation details for Hooks invocation summary

Building on the Hooks Invocation Summary launched in September 2025, AWS CloudFormation Hooks now supports granular invocation details. Hook authors can supplement their Hook evaluation responses with detailed findings, finding severity, and remediation advice. The Hooks console now displays these details at the individual control level within each invocation, enabling developers to quickly identify and resolve specific Hook failures. Customers can easily drill down from the invocation summary to see exactly which controls passed, failed, or were skipped, along with specific remediation guidance for each failure. This granular visibility eliminates guesswork when debugging Hook failures, allowing teams to pinpoint the exact control that blocked a deployment and understand how to fix it. The detailed findings accelerate troubleshooting and streamline compliance reporting by providing actionable insights at the individual control level. The Hooks invocation summary page is available in all commercial and GovCloud (US) regions. To learn more, visit the AWS CloudFormation Hooks View Invocations documentation.

AWS Health enhances Amazon EventBridge to give more flexibility and higher resilience

Customers using Amazon EventBridge can now setup rules for AWS Health events with multi-region redundancy, or choose a simplified path by creating a single rule to capture all Health events. With this enhancement, Health sends all events simultaneously to US West (Oregon) as well as the individual region of impact. For more information customers can go to Creating EventBridge rules for AWS Region coverage. Sending Health events to two regions gives customers an option to increase the resilience of their integration by creating a backup rule. US West (Oregon) is the backup for all regions in commercial partition, while US East (N. Virginia) is the backup for US West (Oregon). Plus, this change also enables a simplified integration path, where customers can now setup a single rule in US West (Oregon) to capture all Health events from across commercial partition, as opposed to needing to configure rules in individual regions. Customers now have greater flexibility in their integration approach for receiving Health events. This update is available in all AWS regions. In China, all Health events get delivered simultaneously to both China (Beijing) and China (Ningxia). In AWS GovCloud (US), all Health events get delivered to AWS GovCloud (US-West) and AWS GovCloud (US-East).
