EventBridge is a PubSub system with different tradeoffs and operational constraints and behaviors.
The cool new features are: (1) It allows serverless dynamic routing based on message content which auto-scales to match usage. (2) It supports SaaS partner events. (3) It supports publishing events based on a scheduled configuration, which can be used to trigger cron jobs or other system processes.
So it is just a messaging system, but one that might be more appropriate to certain use cases over using SQS or SNS or Kinesis, etc.
The article thinks that the ability to have SaaS partner publish events will be a huge deal and is a killer feature of EventBridge.
