Event-Orchestrated Workflow — AWS Architecture Template
Multi-step serverless workflow where EventBridge triggers chained Lambda stages with a failure queue and completion topic.
Why this architecture works
- Each step is a small single-purpose Lambda, so failures are retried at the step level, not the whole workflow
- A shared failure queue collects step errors with full payload context for replay
- Completion events publish to SNS so downstream systems subscribe without coupling
- Workflow state persists to DynamoDB, making every run auditable and resumable
- EventBridge rules make it trivial to insert or reroute steps without touching existing code
