Streamlining an Event-Driven Architecture: A real world transformation

If we are not careful as an event driven architecture matures it can evolve into something resembling the well documented ‘big ball of mud’.

This talk will look at how my team has been transforming a production EDA. It will show how a sparsely documented set of AWS SNS topics used to publish and consume cross-domain events have been transformed into an architecture exhibiting discoverability, governance and observability while continuing to run in production without any data loss.

AWS No Code Challenge

Is it possible or desirable to build a complex workflow using just direct service integrations?

This talk will recreate a production service in a serverless environment with no Lambda functions to answer the question whether it is possible. Whether it is desirable or not? That’s for you to decide.

As AWS has been adding more and more direct service integrations I thought it would be interesting to try and create a service using just service integrations without writing any code. Spoiler it was!

Rather than just a CRUD API I recreated one of my teams actual production workloads including an API, workflow orchestration and events.

This talk will show how I built the workflow using these AWS services:

API Gateway
DynamoDB
EventBridge Bus
EventBridge Pipes
EventBridge Scheduler
SNS
SQS
Step Functions

The workload is based around this repo which contains the CDK https://github.com/ChrisDobby/aws-no-code-challenge

Updating supporters serverless style

Have you ever wanted to keep your users updated in real-time from your AWS application or service?

Join me and an AI assistant for a live-building session where we'll build a real-time notification service for sports fans using a serverless architecture on AWS.

We’ll be using a combination of:

- Lambda
- SQS
- EventBridge
- API Gateway
- Appsync
- WebPush

We'll explore how to leverage Lambda for processing updates, SQS for message queuing, and EventBridge to orchestrate events. The talk will also cover integrating AppSync for real-time data synchronization and implementing WebPush for delivering instant match updates directly to supporters' devices.

Get ready to see how these services come together to create a an engaging experience for sports enthusiasts!
