Amazon EventBridge Archive-Replay: An Experience Report

To keep up with the evolution of serverless, we should be ready to embrace change.

Two dates that have serverless significance to me are,

• July 10, 2019 — LEGO.com was switched to run on serverless.
• July 11, 2019 — EventBridge was announced at Serverless Days, London.

Sensing the role EventBridge could play in the world of serverless microservices, the engineering team behind LEGO.com at the LEGO Group took a bold step to pilot it soon after. It became a sleeper hit! Since then, I’ve been sharing our experience via several articles and conference talks.

It’s almost three years now. EventBridge has evolved with several new features. In our industry, those who move with the evolution of technology are the most successful ones.

Serverless development requires continuous inspiration!
