In this chalk talk, explore the convergence of event-driven architectures (EDAs) and real-time event streaming to meet modern business needs. Learn about Amazon EventBridge, Apache Kafka, and their roles in facilitating real-time decision-making, business velocity, and operational autonomy.

Today's applications are interconnected: they expose APIs, publish events, call third-party services, and externalize states. They must therefore address the fundamental challenges of distributed systems, such as out-of-order delivery, retries, idempotence, and partial failures.

In this session, explore the fundamental differences between containers and serverless functions. Investigate real-world scenarios to gain insights into choosing the right approach based on workload requirements, deployment scenarios, and operations.

In this workshop, learn how to bring your traditional Java Spring application to AWS Lambda with minimal effort and iteratively apply optimizations to get the best out of your serverless Java experience.

The traditional approach to develop and run Java applications included setting up applications servers, required complex build and dependency management, and often relied on large enterprise frameworks. In contrast, serverless functions are ideally short-lived, single-purposed, and not reliant on extensive infrastructure configuration.
