Building Serverless Event-Driven Architectures on AWS
Serverless event-driven architectures help businesses build highly scalable distributed applications that can respond quickly to changing conditions. When you decouple application integrations, your applications become more resilient and easier to manage.
This session explores how startups can adopt event-driven architectures (EDAs), from initial design through implementation and operations. You’ll learn about common integration patterns and how to decouple them using AWS services. We’ll show you how to connect microservices and coordinate data flow with minimal custom code using:
- AWS Lambda
- Amazon API Gateway
- AWS Step Functions
- Amazon EventBridge
- Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) and the Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS)
We’ll cover strategies for maintaining observability and monitoring your event-driven systems as they scale across producers, consumers, and event types. You’ll learn about the benefits EDAs offer organizations, along with common challenges that are often overlooked. Through patterns, best practices, and practical examples, this session provides a comprehensive overview of implementing EDAs and helps you understand how to leverage this approach for your business.
