Applications can send events to custom event bus, which can process events based on its logic.
Refer this to see how we can create one.
Event Bus can be accessed by other AWS accounts using Resource based policies.
Events (all/filtered) can be archived and sent to an event bus for a period of time/indefinitely, also these archived events can be replayed.
Event Bus can analyse the events in your bus and infer the schema.
The Schema Registry allows you to generate code for application, that will know in advance how data is structured in the event bus.
Schema can be versioned.
Resource based policies allow to manage permission for a specific Event Bus.
Allow/Deny events from another AWS account or AWS region.
Aggregate all events from your AWS Organtization in a single AWS account or AWS region.
