In this talk, you will learn about the challenges of the "Lambda-Lith" approach and the benefits of embracing EDAs. Are you on a serverless journey on AWS, starting with the popular stack of Amazon ApiGateway, AWS Lambda, and Amazon DynamoDB? While this combination is a simple way to get started, it can quickly become a monolithic and unmaintainable solution. If so, it's time to discover the power of Event-Driven Architectures (EDAs). We will show different solution architectures, discussing their trade-offs and sharing insights from real-world experiences.
During this session, you will develop a comprehensive understanding of essential EDA concepts, such as the significance of idempotency and its implementation on AWS. You will dive deep on the practical aspects of constructing serverless EDAs using AWS EventBridge and AWS Step Functions. Furthermore, we will showcase how to incorporate approval workflows using AWS Step Functions.
We will address common pitfalls we have taken so you can avoid them. By the end of this session, you will be equipped with the knowledge and practical guidance needed to harness the full potential of event-driven architectures on AWS, enabling you to build scalable, modular, and maintainable serverless applications.
