Event-Driven on AWS

EventBridge, Kinesis, and Delivery Guarantees You Can Defend

By Nadia Oyelaran

AWSAdvancedArchitectureData

Event-driven architecture on AWS spans at least five services with materially different ordering, durability, and delivery semantics. Teams routinely pick one for its ergonomics and discover its guarantees during an outage.

Nadia Oyelaran states the guarantees precisely — EventBridge, SNS, SQS, Kinesis, and DynamoDB Streams — then builds up idempotency, replay, and dead-letter strategies that hold under partial failure.

Includes worked designs for ordering-sensitive workloads that cannot simply be made commutative.

What you'll learn

  • State the real ordering and delivery guarantees of each AWS messaging service
  • Design idempotent consumers that survive redelivery
  • Build replay and dead-letter handling you can operate under load
  • Handle ordering-sensitive workloads without pretending they commute
