Amazon EventBridge delivers a near real-time stream of system events that describe changes in AWS resources. For example, an AWS CodePipeline emits the State Change event when the pipeline changes its state.
The Rule
construct defines an EventBridge rule which monitors an
event based on an event
pattern
and invoke event targets when the pattern is matched against a triggered
event. Event targets are objects that implement the IRuleTarget
interface.
Normally, you will use one of the source.onXxx(name[, target[, options]]) ->
Rule
methods on the event source to define an event rule associated with
the specific activity. You can targets either via props, or add targets using
rule.addTarget
.
For example, to define an rule that triggers a CodeBuild project build when a commit is pushed to the "master" branch of a CodeCommit repository:
const onCommitRule = repo.onCommit('OnCommit', {
target: new targets.CodeBuildProject(project),
branches: ['master']
});
You can add additional targets, with optional input
transformer
using eventRule.addTarget(target[, input])
. For example, we can add a SNS
topic target which formats a human-readable message for the commit.
For example, this adds an SNS topic as a target:
onCommitRule.addTarget(new targets.SnsTopic(topic, {
message: events.RuleTargetInput.fromText(
`A commit was pushed to the repository ${codecommit.ReferenceEvent.repositoryName} on branch ${codecommit.ReferenceEvent.referenceName}`
)
}));
You can configure a Rule to run on a schedule (cron or rate). Rate must be specified in minutes, hours or days.
The following example runs a task every day at 4am:
import { Rule, Schedule } from '@aws-cdk/aws-events';
import { EcsTask } from '@aws-cdk/aws-events-targets';
...
const ecsTaskTarget = new EcsTask({ cluster, taskDefinition, role });
new Rule(this, 'ScheduleRule', {
schedule: Schedule.cron({ minute: '0', hour: '4' }),
targets: [ecsTaskTarget],
});
If you want to specify Fargate platform version, set platformVersion
in EcsTask's props like the following example:
const platformVersion = ecs.FargatePlatformVersion.VERSION1_4;
const ecsTaskTarget = new EcsTask({ cluster, taskDefinition, role, platformVersion });
The @aws-cdk/aws-events-targets
module includes classes that implement the IRuleTarget
interface for various AWS services.
The following targets are supported:
targets.CodeBuildProject
: Start an AWS CodeBuild buildtargets.CodePipeline
: Start an AWS CodePipeline pipeline executiontargets.EcsTask
: Start a task on an Amazon ECS clustertargets.LambdaFunction
: Invoke an AWS Lambda functiontargets.SnsTopic
: Publish into an SNS topictargets.SqsQueue
: Send a message to an Amazon SQS Queuetargets.SfnStateMachine
: Trigger an AWS Step Functions state machinetargets.BatchJob
: Queue an AWS Batch Jobtargets.AwsApi
: Make an AWS API callIt's possible to have the source of the event and a target in separate AWS accounts:
import { App, Stack } from '@aws-cdk/core';
import * as codebuild from '@aws-cdk/aws-codebuild';
import * as codecommit from '@aws-cdk/aws-codecommit';
import * as targets from '@aws-cdk/aws-events-targets';
const app = new App();
const stack1 = new Stack(app, 'Stack1', { env: { account: account1, region: 'us-east-1' } });
const repo = new codecommit.Repository(stack1, 'Repository', {
// ...
});
const stack2 = new Stack(app, 'Stack2', { env: { account: account2, region: 'us-east-1' } });
const project = new codebuild.Project(stack2, 'Project', {
// ...
});
repo.onCommit('OnCommit', {
target: new targets.CodeBuildProject(project),
});
In this situation, the CDK will wire the 2 accounts together:
Note: while events can span multiple accounts, they cannot span different regions (that is an EventBridge, not CDK, limitation).
For more information, see the AWS documentation on cross-account events.
It is possible to archive all or some events sent to an event bus. It is then possible to replay these events.
import * as cdk from '@aws-cdk/core';
const stack = new stack();
const bus = new EventBus(stack, 'bus', {
eventBusName: 'MyCustomEventBus'
});
bus.archive('MyArchive', {
archiveName: 'MyCustomEventBusArchive',
description: 'MyCustomerEventBus Archive',
eventPattern: {
account: [stack.account],
},
retention: cdk.Duration.days(365),
});
To import an existing EventBus into your CDK application, use EventBus.fromEventBusArn
or EventBus.fromEventBusAttributes
factory method.
Then, you can use the grantPutEventsTo
method to grant event:PutEvents
to the eventBus.
const eventBus = EventBus.fromEventBusArn(this, 'ImportedEventBus', 'arn:aws:events:us-east-1:111111111:event-bus/my-event-bus');
// now you can just call methods on the eventbus
eventBus.grantPutEventsTo(lambdaFunction);
