Bridging the Gap: Using EventBridge to tie your services together

Have you heard of EventBridge? It's one of those services that can be easily overlooked, or underestimated. Maybe you've encountered it as the replacement for CloudWatch Events for scheduling your tasks, but there's more to it. As the name implies, it helps you tie together different services (both external and AWS) for an event-driven architecture. This in turn enables a lot of fun things, such as the recently announced integration with CloudFormation. In this talk we'll discuss and demonstrate how EventBridge works and what you can do with it.

We welcome Arjen Schwarz, who has kindly travelled to Perth to present our October session. Arjen is originally from the Netherlands, but on a trip around the world decided that Melbourne was the place for him. Since moving there he's become involved with all things AWS and runs the Melbourne AWS User Group, is an AWS Ambassador, and works as Principal Consultant at CMD Solutions. Outside of work he has come to realise that everything he does is dictated by a toddler but still at times pretends he has a say in matters.

Thanks, as always, to our growing ranks of sponsors. Amongst the many costs and commitments they cover for the group, they have you for pizza and refreshments!
