Amazon EventBridge is the central nervous system of modern AWS architectures. It is a serverless event bus that routes events between AWS services, SaaS applications, and your own microservices. Unlike SQS (point-to-point) or SNS (fan-out), EventBridge provides content-based routing, schema registry, and archive/replay capabilities. This guide covers architectural patterns, advanced filtering, cross-account routing, and production […]

Observability in serverless is challenging. Lambda functions execute in ephemeral environments, making traditional APM tools ineffective. AWS Lambda Powertools for .NET provides structured logging, distributed tracing, and custom metrics out of the box—implementing AWS Well-Architected best practices without boilerplate. This guide covers installation, configuration, and production patterns for each Powertools utility. The Observability Challenge in […]

Single Table Design (STD) is the most controversial and misunderstood DynamoDB pattern. The premise: store all entity types in one table, use generic partition and sort keys, and leverage Composite Primary Keys and GSIs for access patterns. When done correctly, STD eliminates N+1 queries, reduces costs, and simplifies IAM. When done incorrectly, it creates debugging […]
