Build an AWS Architecture: S3 → EventBridge, SNS, SQS (Hands-On Workshop)

# Build an Event-Driven AWS Architecture: S3 → EventBridge → SNS → SQS (Hands-On Workshop) - Phase 1
Join us for a hands-on AWS workshop where we'll build a complete event-driven architecture from scratch using some of the most important AWS services used in modern cloud-native applications.
Rather than focusing only on theory, we'll deploy and connect real AWS services together to understand how events flow across distributed systems and how to design loosely coupled, scalable architectures.
By the end of the session, you'll have built a working event-driven workflow that starts with a file upload to Amazon S3 and propagates events across multiple AWS services.
### What We'll Build
We'll implement the following architecture live:
```
File Upload to S3
|
v
EventBridge
/
/
Step Functions SNS Topic
/
/
ECS Fargate SQS Queue
Subscriber
```
### Hands-On Flow
#### Event Source
- Upload a file into an Amazon S3 bucket
- Generate an event automatically
#### Event Routing with EventBridge
- Configure EventBridge rules
- Match S3 events
- Route events to multiple targets
#### Workflow Orchestration
- Trigger an AWS Step Functions workflow
- Understand orchestration vs event-driven processing
- Explore common workflow patterns
#### Fan-Out Messaging with SNS
- Create and configure an SNS topic
- Publish events from EventBridge
- Understand pub/sub messaging patterns
#### Multiple Subscribers
- Deploy a Python consumer on ECS Fargate
- Process SNS notifications from a containerized application
- Queue events into Amazon SQS for asynchronous processing
#### Queue-Based Processing
- Configure SQS queues
- Decouple producers and consumers
### AWS Services Covered
- Amazon S3
- Amazon EventBridge
- Amazon SNS
- Amazon SQS
- AWS Step Functions
- Amazon ECS
- AWS Fargate
- IAM Roles and Permissions
### Key Concepts You'll Learn
- Event-Driven Architectures
- Publish/Subscribe Messaging
- Fan-Out Patterns
- Asynchronous Processing
- Workflow Orchestration
- Decoupled Microservices
- AWS Integration Best Practices
### Who Should Attend?
- AWS Developers
- Cloud Engineers
- Solutions Architects
- DevOps Engineers
- Platform Engineers
- Anyone learning Event-Driven Architecture on AWS
### Why Attend?
Event-driven systems are at the core of modern cloud applications. Understanding how services such as EventBridge, SNS, SQS, Step Functions, and ECS work together is essential for building scalable, resilient, and loosely coupled architectures.
This workshop focuses on practical implementation rather than slides, making it ideal for engineers who want to learn by building.
Duration: 1 Hour
Format: Live Hands-On Workshop + Architecture Walkthrough + Q&A
Prerequisites: Basic familiarity with AWS services and concepts is helpful but not required.
