UI Features

• Left panel: Select event buses and view detailed information
• Right panel: Interactive graph visualization
• Touch or click on any node (event bus, rule, or target) to view its details
• Filter and select specific rules to display
• Fetch and view recent logs and event payloads for rules
• Send test events to EventBridge that match rule patterns

Graph Interpretation

• Dark gray node: Event bus
• Light blue nodes: Rules
• Soft yellow nodes: Lambda targets
• Lavender nodes: SQS service targets
• Mint green nodes: SNS service targets
• Arrows: Show the flow of events from the event bus to rules to targets

Development Mode

1. In a separate terminal, start the Flask application:

python main.py
