In this comprehensive session from AWS re:Invent 2023, Dave Boyne, a developer advocate at AWS, guides viewers through the journey of implementing serverless event-driven architectures (EDAs). Boyne covers the entire lifecycle of EDA adoption, from initial design considerations to implementation strategies and long-term operational maintenance. He emphasizes the importance of understanding business behaviors and events before diving into implementation, highlighting tools like event storming to map out system processes. The talk explores various messaging patterns, integration techniques, and common pitfalls developers might encounter when building EDAs. Boyne also discusses crucial aspects such as event schema design, handling sensitive data, and ensuring discoverability of events within an organization. Throughout the presentation, he demonstrates how AWS services like EventBridge, Lambda, and SQS can be leveraged to create robust, scalable event-driven systems. The session provides valuable insights for both newcomers to EDAs and experienced developers looking to optimize their architectures.
