Amazon EventBridge is a serverless event bus that routes real-time data streams from your applications and services to targets like AWS Lambda. EventBridge facilitates event-driven application development by simplifying the process of ingesting and delivering events across your application architecture, and by providing built-in security and error handling. We are excited to announce that you can now use our new integration to route Datadog alerts to EventBridge with minimal configuration or setup.

Our latest product release contains plenty of new features, so we decided to list the major ones that our users will find most exciting.
