Beyond Functions: Building resilient serverless architectures with event-driven patterns

By 🚀 Lino Espinoza

Elevator Pitch

Move past basic Lambda functions to architect truly robust serverless systems. Learn advanced patterns like choreography vs orchestration, circuit breakers, and distributed tracing that separate production-ready applications from proof-of-concepts.

Description

Move beyond basic lambda functions to build production-ready serverless systems. This talk explores patterns using Amazon EventBridge, Amazon SQS, and AWS Step Functions that enable resilient and scalable applications to handle real-world challenges.

What you will learn:
- Event-Driven patterns: Understand choreography and orchestration. - Resilience design: Apply distributed sagas, circuit breakers, and failure recovery patterns with AWS Lambda destinations and DLQs
- Production observability: Create effective monitoring with X-Ray distributed tracing and structured logging
- Cost optimization: Use techniques for scaling serverless workloads.

Target Audience
Architects and senior developers building production serverless applications, along with engineering teams aiming to move beyond basic implementations.
