Explore event-driven architecture for building highly scalable, distributed applications in this conference talk from GOTO Chicago 2023. Learn common integration patterns, including synchronous request-response, asynchronous point-to-point, and message-router models. Discover how to use AWS messaging services to connect microservices and coordinate data flow with minimal custom code. Delve into the principles of event-driven architecture (EDA) and understand how to maintain idempotency, reduce duplicate events, and build resilient applications. Gain insights on where duplicates can occur, how to build idempotent code, and leverage idempotent services. Perfect for developers and architects looking to decouple application integrations and improve application durability and manageability.
