Enhance your Applications with Event-Driven Architectures on AWS

As an Advanced AWS Consulting Partner, Qalius has the expertise to develop custom event-driven applications leveraging AWS services. Our event-driven applications are cost-effective and scalable because they run code only when your business needs it.

A Unique Approach to Event-Driven Applications

At Qalius, we specialize in web applications that use on-demand computing services from AWS. We combine general-purpose compute services, such as AWS Lambda, with specialized services, such as the AWS artificial intelligence services, to implement a custom solution that suits your unique requirements. Event-driven architectures from Qalius link together the AWS services to create scalable solutions where you pay only for what you use.

Leverage the Power of Event-Driven Architecture with AWS Lambda

With AWS Lambda, you can run code without provisioning servers or containers. In an event-driven architecture, a business’s needs, such as a file to ingest or a transaction to process, trigger the code execution when you need it. With its pay-as-you-use model, AWS Lambda offers fantastic economies of scale – you only pay for the time it takes to run the code.

At Qalius, we have the expertise required to build custom applications using AWS Lambda. No matter the complexity of your application, our AWS and web application specialists will develop the right event-stream processing solution.

The Benefits of Event-Driven Architectures

reduce-cost

Cost Optimization

When you use an event-driven architecture, activity in your business triggers resource provisioning. You don’t pay for idle resources, so the solution has low AWS service costs that scale with the event volume.

2-near-real-time

Near-Real-Time Processing

The components of an event-driven application architecture are connected together, so that an event in one place, such as a transaction submission, triggers processing. The result is near-real-time communication between application components to recognize a triggering event, process the event, and deliver an outcome for your business.

3-reliability

Reliability

Event-driven application architectures have components that are loosely coupled through an event bus. These architectures are fault-tolerant when they are designed to queue new events until processing capacity becomes available. The result is an application that copes with the temporary loss of a third-party service or the failure and retry of an individual transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Event-driven application architectures are built from components that each perform a specialized process when triggered by an event. The event is usually the arrival of an input that needs to be processed. The input could be a transaction submitted to your business, the arrival of a file to process, or intermediate outputs from earlier stages of the application process.
Event-driven architectures are applicable in countless use cases. For example, an application could recognize that a picture has been submitted (a triggering event), use the Amazon Recognition service from AWS to see if it contains any cats (event processing), and then updates a cat counter (the output) with the number of cats spotted in pictures this week.
Event-driven architectures should implement their event processing in discrete process steps. The steps should be decoupled by queuing work in between process steps. The queues ensure that transactions don’t get lost if a process step is temporarily unavailable. Event-driven architectures should be built on on-demand services such as AWS Lambda so you only pay for cloud services when there is a triggering event that requires processing.
As defined by AWS, AWS Lambda is a serverless, event-driven compute service that lets you run code for virtually any type of application or backend service without provisioning or managing servers.
AWS Lambda has native support for several runtimes enabling your code to be written in Node.js, Python, Go, Ruby, .NET, and Java. Qalius recommends considering the breadth and depth of expertise in your organization to be sure you can support the solution long-term. Runtimes such as Node.js and Python initialize quickly so they are a good choice for use cases where executions are intermittent and low latency is important. Java may take longer to initialize, but the code may execute quickly, which can reduce cost in use cases that have long-running processes.
The AWS Lambda service was launched in 2014 and has benefitted from many years of refinement with large and small global workloads. At Qalius, we especially appreciate that AWS Lambda integrates easily with many AWS services to reduce time-to-market for custom web applications.
