About This Architecture

Event-driven microservices architecture on AWS using Lambda, EventBridge, and RDS with independent bounded contexts for Orders, Payments, and Inventory services. Traffic flows through CloudFront and WAF to API Gateway, which routes requests to Lambda functions that publish events to EventBridge for asynchronous processing via SQS and SNS. Each service integrates with shared infrastructure including Route 53 service discovery, Systems Manager configuration, Secrets Manager encryption, CloudWatch monitoring, and X-Ray distributed tracing to ensure observability and security. This pattern decouples services through event-driven communication while maintaining strong data consistency via RDS with read replicas and ElastiCache session caching. Fork this diagram on Diagrams.so to customize service boundaries, add additional Lambda functions, or adapt the event routing topology for your domain model. The architecture demonstrates AWS best practices for scalable, loosely-coupled microservices with centralized observability and security controls.

How do I design a scalable event-driven microservices architecture on AWS with Lambda, EventBridge, and RDS?

This diagram shows a production-grade AWS microservices pattern where independent Lambda services for Orders, Payments, and Inventory publish events to EventBridge, which routes them through SQS and SNS for asynchronous processing. Each service accesses shared RDS PostgreSQL with read replicas, ElastiCache caching, and centralized observability via CloudWatch and X-Ray, while API Gateway with WAF
