Feature: Event streams (Early access)
Description: The Event Stream feature is exhibiting significant and critical performance instability and unreliability when delivering events to the configured AWS EventBridge destination. This directly impacts downstream systems relying on these events for real-time processing and synchronization.
1. Inconsistent Latency
Event delivery latency is highly unstable, varying wildly between near-instantaneous and excessively delayed.
-
Observed Behavior: Delivery time from Auth0 to EventBridge ranges from less than one second to multiple minutes for events of the same type and context.
-
Impact: This unpredictability makes it impossible to rely on the stream for time-sensitive, near-real-time operations.
2. Complete Event Omissions (Missing Events)
Events are sometimes completely omitted or lost in the stream, even when events of the same type for the same resource are delivered successfully both before and after the omission.
-
Specific Example: For a single user entity, the system correctly received multiple subsequent
user.updated
events, yet the initial, crucialuser.created
event was never delivered. -
Crucial Detail: After more than 24 hours since the expected creation time, the Event Stream UI does not show any corresponding failed delivery attempts for the missing event, suggesting the failure/omission occurred prior to the point of being marked as a delivery failure.
-
Impact: Data integrity is compromised, as essential initial state information is never received, leading to synchronization errors and incomplete records in connected systems.
Use-case: Integration with AWS EventBridge
