Building Event-Driven Architectures on AWS

An event-driven architecture uses events to trigger and communicate between decoupled services and is common in modern applications built with microservices. In this workshop we’ll cover the fundamentals of event-driven design, using examples that involve Amazon EventBridge, Amazon SNS, Amazon SQS, AWS Lambda and more. You will learn how to choose the right AWS service for the job, as well as how to optimize for both cost and performance. Through hands on practice, this workshop will give you the skills bring event-driven design patterns into your own applications. AWS sandbox accounts will be supplied for the hands on portion of the workshop.
