# EventBridge Event Source

An EventBridge Event Source in AWS represents an external or internal service that can publish events into Amazon EventBridge. It defines where events originate, such as AWS services, SaaS applications, or custom applications, enabling event-driven architectures. Event sources feed events into event buses, which can then be routed to targets like Lambda functions, Step Functions, or other AWS services for processing.
