# EventBridge Event Bus

An EventBridge Event Bus is a routing layer for events in AWS. It receives events from AWS services, custom applications, or SaaS partners and delivers them to targets like Lambda, Step Functions, or SQS. Event buses help decouple event producers and consumers, enabling scalable, event-driven architectures.
