Asynchronous event-driven architectures enable loosely coupled, scalable, and resilient systems. But the devil is in the details, and the true complexity lies in how components interact under real-world pressure. Ordering, idempotency, failure handling, latency, and cost aren’t shaped by high-level architecture diagrams with boxes and arrows — they’re shaped by the strategies and services you choose to integrate systems in distributed environments. In this talk, you’ll uncover common design trade-offs behind integration decisions, illustrated with lessons from the field working with services like AWS Lambda, Amazon DynamoDB, and AWS Step Functions. You’ll leave with a sharper intuition for how distributed architectures behave, and how to design event-driven systems that are both resilient and intentional.
