Overview of events for Amazon RDS
An RDS event indicates a change in the Amazon RDS environment. For example, Amazon RDS generates an event when the state of a DB instance changes from pending to running. Amazon RDS delivers events to CloudWatch Events and EventBridge in near-real time.
Note
Amazon RDS emits events on a best effort basis. We recommend that you avoid writing programs that depend on the order or existence of notification events, because they might be out of sequence or missing.
