Organizations building event-driven applications on Amazon EventBridge typically start with a single custom event bus in one account. This works well when a single team owns the architecture. As adoption grows across the organization, though, things get complicated. AWS best practices recommend a multi-account structure, which means each team runs in its own account. To […]
