# EventBridge Archive

EventBridge Archive is an AWS resource that allows you to store and retain events published to EventBridge event buses. It enables you to capture all or filtered subsets of events for long-term storage, replay, and auditing. This helps in troubleshooting, compliance, and reprocessing use cases by letting you replay archived events back into an event bus at any time.
