Queues, publish/subscribe services, and event buses are important parts of a resilient, well-architected serverless application. These are provided in AWS by SQS, SNS, and EventBridge.

In this blog post, you train an XGBoost breast cancer model using Python packages installed on an Amazon EFS file system. You create an AWS Lambda function that loads the Python packages and the model from EFS file system, and perform the predictions. 

This blog post shows some of the best practices when using Lambda with Kinesis. It covers operational levers for high-throughput, low latency, single source data processing pipelines.

Messaging is an important part of serverless applications and AWS services provide queues, publish/subscribe, and event routing capabilities. This post reviews the main features of SNS, SQS, and EventBridge and how they provide different capabilities for your workloads.
