AWS announced the general availability of Amazon EventBridge Pipes in December 2022. EventBridge Pipes provides a simpler, consistent, and cost-effective way to create point-to-point integrations between event producers and consumers, expanding the EventBridge offering beyond event buses and scheduling. Creating a pipe is as simple as selecting a source and a target, and you can customize batching, starting position, concurrency, and more, if desired. An optional filtering step allows only specific source events to flow into the pipe and an optional enrichment step.
However, this feature is not yet available to deploy using AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK), an open-source software development framework for defining cloud infrastructure in code and provisioning it through AWS CloudFormation.
Because AWS CDK is open-source, the CDK team encourages community to contribute to make it an even better tool. For details, see link below.
The amazing Raphael Manke contributed to the project by building multiple alpha contructs for the EventBridge Pipes [aws-cdk-rfcs/issues/473].
He has already built L2 construct for SQS target. On the live stream he walked through with Darko on how to build L2 construct for AWS Step Functions target.
If you are looking to learn a bit about:
- Checking the AWS CloudFormation spec and implementing the required class in Typescript
- Exporting the class in the
index.tsand build it - Writing unit and integration tests
- Writing proper documentation
