API-driven architecture

• API defines the interface

• e.g. REST, GraphQL

PUT /todo/1

• Caller expects an immediate Invoke (sync)

response UpdateItem

• Response contains the result of the work

• Generally, under 30 seconds
• Usually Synchronous processing 200 Success

• Client must implement error

handling, retry logic

© 2023, Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
Event-driven architecture
• Event payload defines the interface
Amazon EventBridge
• e.g. JSON Event Bus

• Response is “message received” (or not) PUT /todo/1

• Asynchronous processing PutEvents

• Process can be long running (beyond 30s)

200 Success
• Updating client (e.g. UI) can be more
challenging
Invoke (async)

UpdateItem
• Higher resiliency, durability
• Driven by messaging service

• Built-in retries, configurable to use case
