Modern cloud applications based on serverless or microservices architectures are typically fine-grained, distributed, and interconnected. Connections between components define important characteristics like scalability, availability, and coupling. In this session, learn how AWS serverless and application integration tools make these connections explicit, automatable, and manageable. Drawing on 20 years of design patterns for asynchronous and event-driven architectures, AWS Enterprise Strategist and author of Enterprise Integration Patterns Gregor Hohpe will show you why the lines are just as important as the boxes.
