In previous blog posts in this messaging series, we provided an overview of messaging and we also explained the common characteristics to consider when  evaluating messaging channel technologies. In this post, we will explain some of the semantics of queue-based processing, its use in designing flexible systems, and how to apply it to your use cases. AWS offers two queue-based services: Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) and Amazon MQ. We will focus on SQS in this blog. Building Blocks In the digital world, even the most basic design of web based systems requires the use of queues to integrate applications. SQS is a secure, serverless,Read More →

In the first post in this series on messaging patterns, we gave an overview of messaging and the benefits and challenges of both synchronous and asynchronous service communication. In this post, we will look at common characteristics to consider when evaluating messaging channel technologies. We will also introduce Amazon EventBridge, the AWS Serverless event bus. What is an Event? An event is the occurrence of an immutable message describing something that happened in the past. The event data payload typically contains details of the occurrence and associated metadata. Events are routed from a producer to potential consumers via a transportation channel, as defined in theRead More →

We hope you’ve enjoyed reading our posts on best practices for your serverless applications. The posts in the following series will focus on best practices when introducing messaging patterns into your applications. Let’s review some core messaging concepts and see how they can be used to address challenges when designing modern cloud architectures. Introduction Applications can communicate information with each other using messages, a mechanism for packaging a data payload and associated metadata. The application that sends a message is called the producer and the application that receives the message is called the consumer. Producers and consumers exchange messages using a variety of transportation channels, for example point-to-point requests, messageRead More →

You can define friendly names for any resource, such as Amazon S3 buckets, Amazon DynamoDB tables, Amazon SQS queues, or custom cloud services built on Amazon EC2, Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS, or AWS Lambda. Your applications can then discover resource location and metadata by friendly name using the AWS SDK and authenticated API queries. Resources can be further filtered and discovered byRead More →
