Near Real-Time Event Ingestion at Scale: 300M+ Messages with MSK, Lambda, and RDS Proxy
Real-world event ingestion challenges include backpressure, noisy neighbors, poisoned messages, connection storms, and scaling bottlenecks.
In this session, you will learn proven patterns from handling over 300M events per month in near real-time with MSK, Lambda, and RDS Proxy.
We will explore connection pooling, partition-aware processing, async backpressure handling, and recovery strategies.
