Building Event-Driven Serverless Systems on AWS

Most developers start learning serverless by experimenting with individual AWS services like Lambda or API Gateway.

However, production-ready serverless applications are built by connecting multiple managed services into scalable, event-driven architectures.

In this hands-on session, you'll learn how modern serverless applications are designed, how events flow across AWS services, and how to build resilient, cost-effective systems using real-world architectural patterns.

Along with core concepts, the session will include live demos to help you understand how these services work together in practice.

🎯 What You'll Learn

• Serverless fundamentals and when to use serverless
• Understanding event-driven architecture on AWS
• Core AWS serverless services: AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon EventBridge, Amazon SQS, Amazon SNS, AWS Step Functions, Amazon DynamoDB
• Common serverless design patterns
• Building loosely coupled and scalable applications
• Error handling, retries, dead-letter queues, and idempotency
• Authentication basics using Amazon Cognito (overview)
