Amazon EventBridge Fair Queues Support

Amazon EventBridge now supports Amazon SQS fair queues as targets, enabling you to build more responsive event-driven applications. SQS fair queues automatically distribute messages fairly across consumer groups, preventing any single group from monopolizing queue resources. This enhancement allows EventBridge to send events directly to SQS fair queues, creating powerful patterns for building scalable, multi-tenant applications.

What to do

  • Select the fair queue as a target when creating or updating EventBridge rules.
  • Include a MessageGroupID parameter, which can be specified with either a static value or JSON path expression.

Support for Fair Queue and FIFO targets is available in all AWS commercial and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions.
