Presentations by Luke

Cross-Domain Events with AsyncAPI and AWS

In this talk, Luke will describe the design, build and operation of a cross-domain event distribution service at The LEGO Group. The cross-domain event service is part of a production workload powering global e-commerce at massive scale, running on the AWS public cloud. A novel approach to standardising event schema and payloads that utilises AsyncAPI and CloudEvents will be presented. We will also explore the use of web standards in cross-domain event production, such as JSON Patch for data marshaling and JSON Web Tokens for encoding and encryption of payloads. We'll explore how the use of AsyncAPI tools supports the delivery lifecycle of this system, including Modelina for automated generation of type definitions and Generator for documentation. We will also see how AsyncAPI schema can be integrated with Spotify’s Backstage platform to simplify the onboarding of new event consumers through event documentation and discovery.

Pioneering Serverless Payments at The LEGO Group

The LEGO Group was a super early adopter of the serverless mindset and associated technology. It is time to review how one of its core products continues to operate and innovate 3 years on. We will take a look at the serverless, event-driven architecture powering The LEGO Group's payments platform, Brickbank, and how it facilitates e-commerce on a global scale. We'll explore the full software delivery lifecycle of the payments platform, including development, testing, release and observability. We will look at some of the key AWS services that play crucial roles in the platform's architecture, including Lambda, Step Functions, DynamoDB, EventBridge, CDK and Macie. We will also assess how a mature serverless application remains up-to-date with constantly evolving best practices, industry trends and feature requests.
