bkonkleDynamoDB, Kinesis, and Lambda are great tools for setting up a highly scalable, serverless, event-driven API pipeline that can handle huge traffic with ease and stay resilient with granular fault tolerance. In this article I talk about how to work with the tools, taking advantage of retries and dead-letter queues to tame the chaos in your distributed system.

Serverless Event-Driven APIs with AWS Kinesis
Everything that happens in an application or a software system is triggered by something. Whether it’s a user action, a sensor output, a periodic trigger, an event loop, an API call, or something else entirely — our software is governed by events. Sometimes those events are implicit, like a server that handles an HTTP request and updates a database row without ever explicitly defining it as an “entity updated” event or recording the details.
