Overview
Explore event design and event-first development in this 38-minute conference talk by David Boyne, Senior Developer Advocate at AWS, recorded at GOTO EDA Day 2022. Learn about the growing adoption of Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) and its impact on distributed systems. Discover common challenges that arise when scaling EDA and how proper event design can mitigate these issues. Gain insights into various event patterns, their tradeoffs, and how to choose the right one for your architecture. Understand the importance of event-first thinking in development and its role in creating scalable, fault-tolerant systems. Dive into practical examples using Amazon EventBridge and explore resources for further learning on EDA, serverless architectures, and software design principles.
