• What is an event-driven architecture and why storing events is important ?

  First, you may not know the Kinesis Data Firehose service. Here's the AWS definition: Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose is an Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) service that captures, transforms, and reliably delivers streaming data to data lakes, data stores, and analytics services.

• Serverless Event Driven AI as a Service

  As you can see in the diagram, we are feeding all events from Event Bus via a catch-all rule into Kinesis Data Firehose. Firehose is a fully managed service that streams into specific destinations like Data Warehouses or Data Lakes.

• Advice on S3 Application

  Is continuous backup important ? e.g. If the stuff fails for one day and you lose that day's upload is that ok? Do you want it to push updates more frequently than once a day? If you want to continuously push updates then Kinesis Firehose might be worth looking into. Source: over 2 years ago

• Data science for small businesses / restaurants

  I think toast https://pos.toasttab.com/ does this for restaurants. They sell point of sale systems, but also back office software too. That enables them to collect all the data, then they provide analytics that is supposed to help the restaurant be more profitable. Source: about 2 years ago
