## Core Concepts
### Event Bus
Channel that receives events. Types:
- **Default**: Receives AWS service events
- **Custom**: Your application events
- **Partner**: SaaS application events
### Rules
Match incoming events and route to targets. Each rule can have up to 5 targets.
### Event Patterns
JSON patterns that define which events match a rule.
### Targets
AWS services that receive matched events (Lambda, SQS, SNS, Step Functions, etc.).
### Scheduler
Schedule one-time or recurring events to invoke targets.
## Common Patterns
### Create Custom Event Bus and Rule
**AWS CLI:**
```bash
# Create custom event bus
aws events create-event-bus --name my-app-events
# Create rule
aws events put-rule \
--name order-created-rule \
--event-bus-name my-app-events \
--event-pattern '{
"source": ["my-app.orders"],
"detail-type": ["Order Created"]
}'
# Add Lambda target
aws events put-targets \
--rule order-created-rule \
--event-bus-name my-app-events \
--targets '[{
"Id": "process-order",
"Arn": "arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:123456789012:function:ProcessOrder"
}]'
# Add Lambda permission
aws lambda add-permission \
--function-name ProcessOrder \
--statement-id eventbridge-order-created \
--action lambda:InvokeFunction \
--principal events.amazonaws.com \
--source-arn arn:aws:events:us-east-1:123456789012:rule/my-app-events/order-created-rule
```
**boto3:**
```python
import boto3
events = boto3.client('events')
# Create event bus
events.create_event_bus(Name='my-app-events')
# Create rule
events.put_rule(
Name='ord
