Does localstack support the generation of AWS events out of the box?

My use case is the testing of an AWS lambda function that is triggered when a new RDS cluster is created. When I try to simulate this behavior by create an RDS cluster in localstack, no event gets triggered, even though I have configured the rules in EventBridge.

Thanks a lot

Hi! We don’t support these automatic events triggered by AWS resources yet but it’s a good idea and we should definitely pursue it :+1:

To understand your use case a bit better, could you describe what you’d trigger based on the cluster creation?

Hi @dominikschubert ,

Thanks for the info. I agree with you, it would be a great feature.

The use case revolves around performing operations using lambda functions that are triggered by these events. In my case, one of them is to generate credentials automatically when a new RDS instance is created and store those in a password manager solution.
