Event-driven architectures enable scalable and decoupled systems, but without proper planning, they can lead to complexity, event duplication, and debugging nightmares.

This talk breaks down the key challenges and best practices for designing reliable event-driven microservices using AWS services like EventBridge, Step Functions, and SQS. We’ll explore real-world examples of companies building resilient architectures and handling failures in distributed environments. Learn when to use orchestration vs. choreography, how to manage retries and dead-letter queues, and what it takes to maintain observability in asynchronous workflows.

Discover how event-driven architectures can improve scalability, reduce operational overhead, and transform your cloud-native applications.
