In this messaging themed episode of AWS TechChat, Pete is back, and more so in person. We started the show reminiscing about messaging history, going back, looking at where we came from and how we arrived at the position we are today and more importantly, why use messaging and the benefits you can derive in decoupling your architecture. They started the show, with with event streams covering both both Amazon Kinesis and Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka, or Amazon MSK. Both designed to process or analyse streaming data for specialised needs. Before looking at what one would consider a more traditional message bus in Amazon SQS and Amazon MQ, both durable pull based messaging platform with Amazon SQS being light weight and tightly integrated to the AWS Cloud platform and Amazon MQ supporting a variety of protocols making it a great choice for existing applications that use industry standard protocols. We then moved to push with Amazon SNS and the IOT Message Broker, both pub/sub platform that enables you to build fan out architectures with hundreds of thousands to millions of subscribers before quickly discussing at a high level which messaging platform is right for you. You now have more than hammer to build your applications, Maslow would be proud.
