4 tasks

In this project, you will implement a decoupled event-driven architecture using AWS Simple Notification Service (SNS) and Simple Queue Service (SQS). You'll design a system that processes orders asynchronously, demonstrating the benefits of scalability and fault tolerance.

Sandbox access coming soon

Scenario

TechRetail Inc., an e-commerce company, is experiencing delays in processing customer orders during peak times. To handle increased order volumes and improve processing efficiency, they need an event-driven architecture that decouples order intake from order processing using AWS SNS and SQS.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the components of an event-driven architecture.
  • Implement SNS for event publication.
  • Use SQS for decoupled message processing.
  • Configure IAM roles and policies for secure service interaction.
