SVS339: Building Event-driven Architectures using Amazon ECS with AWS Fargate

Resources for SVS339: Building event-driven architectures using Amazon ECS with AWS Fargate

Event-driven architecture (EDA) enables organizations to build highly flexible and resilient systems, and customers are leveraging serverless containers to run EDA workloads due to its ease of use, scalability, and deep integrations with AWS serverless services. This session explores practical aspects of implementing EDA on Amazon ECS with AWS Fargate, focusing on patterns for consuming events in containerized environments using AWS Step Functions, Amazon SQS, and Amazon EventBridge. Learn how to build scalable, fault-tolerant, and event-driven solutions that can adapt to changing business requirements.
