Serverless Compute at the Heart of Your Event-Driven Architecture

This conference talk from GOTO Copenhagen 2024 explores how to effectively implement serverless compute solutions for event-driven architecture (EDA). Learn how to leverage both serverless functions and containers to handle compute needs in your event-driven applications. Julian Wood, Serverless Developer Advocate at AWS, demonstrates how AWS Lambda and Amazon ECS on AWS Fargate can scale to meet demand when needed and scale to zero when idle. Through multiple demos, discover practical implementation patterns, understand when to use each compute option, and see how they can be orchestrated together in the same application. The presentation covers serverless EDA fundamentals, detailed explorations of serverless functions, container-based solutions with AWS Fargate, and decision frameworks for choosing the right compute option for specific application requirements.
