title: What is role of AWS eventbridge in a kafka consumer lambda?
body: <p>I'm trying to understand the implementation flow while I'm designing the blueprint for one of our usecase. As per existing articles/blogs, AWS now supports self hosted kafka implementation for lambdas. Also there exists scheduled lambdas. But does anyone know where does eventbridge stands here?</p>
  <p>Basically I want to trigger lambda everytime there's an event change in the topic it's subscribing too. So should the lambda act as a consumer that will listen to topics? If yes, since it's serverless, someone has to tell that there's a change. So will cloudwatch would be the one to do so?</p>
  <p>Again if yes, does cloudwatch also needs to be acting as consumer and listen to topics?</p>
  <p>Please help me understand, this might sound like an opinion question, but really nowhere I could find the correct answer.</p>
  <p>P.S.- I know there's MSK and Kinesis, but it's recommended to used between lambda, eventbridge, sqs, sns, s3, etc only. The target is to read the data from topics and send out emails to recipients.</p>
