Use Solace & AWS to Create a Global EDA Backbone • Michael Hilmen & Chintan Sanghavi • GOTO 2023

Discover how Solace and AWS enable a global event-driven architecture backbone, reducing latency, improving scalability and resilience, while simplifying migration and ensuring better cost optimization.

Key takeaways
  • Key benefits of using Solace with AWS:
    • Reduced network latency
    • Improved scalability
    • Increased resilience
    • Better cost optimization
    • Improved agility and adaptability
    • Simplified migration to cloud
  • Event-driven architecture (EDA) enables real-time data processing and delivery
  • Solace’s event mesh allows for seamless data routing across different regions and clouds
  • EDA adoption involves three core capabilities: infrastructure as code, automation, and taxonomy
  • Taxonomy is crucial for specifying what data to access and when
  • Metadata is used to filter and apply rules to events
  • Solace’s broker provides routing and brokering capabilities for events
  • Event portal capability allows for defining new events and finding existing ones
  • Solace is tightly integrated with AWS and provides native support for various protocols
  • Solace has been used by customers such as FAA, Standard Charter, and others
  • Key criteria for selecting an event broker: scalability, security, performance, and manageability
  • Solace has a strong focus on security, with features such as granular access control and encryption
  • Solace has a community-driven approach, with active involvement in open-source projects
  • Solace provides RESTful APIs for managing events and data
