In this talk, we'll go through a real-world design challenge I faced while syncing data from a monolith to a microservice. I'll share the different approaches I explored and highlight how EventBridge API Destinations simplify event-driven integrations. However, API Destinations were historically limited to public endpoints—until AWS re:Invent changed that!

You'll learn how to leverage VPC Lattice to securely route events to private/internal endpoints, eliminating the need for complex setups like SQS + Lambda when they aren't necessary. By the end, you'll have a clear understanding of how to streamline your architecture for internal API connectivity with AWS-native solutions.

Here's the article I published in AWSTip on the same topic:
