Amazon EventBridge Pricing: Six Components, One Surprise Bill
EventBridge looks like a $1/million-events service. It is actually six different billing dimensions — custom events, Pipes at $0.40/M, API Destinations at $0.20/M, Schema Discovery at $0.10/M, Archive at $0.10/GB-month, and cross-region replication that doubles the publish line. Built-in AWS-service events are free; custom buses are where the bill lives.
