AWS Serverless Microservices with Patterns and Best Practices - Using Custom Queue Construct in Main Stack with AWS CDK

The video tutorial guides viewers through setting up a CDK project, creating custom constructs, and defining queues. It explains how to connect microservices to Amazon SQS and modify event targets. The tutorial also covers refactoring the event bus to target Amazon SQS, breaking dependencies, and applying the Pennant pattern.

What is the initial step in setting up the CDK project as mentioned in the video?

• Installing AWS CLI

• Opening the project file and accessing the main stage

• Creating a new AWS account

• Configuring IAM roles

What is the purpose of defining a custom queue in the CDK project?

• To create a custom construct within the main stack

• To replace the existing database

• To improve user interface

• To enhance security

Why is it important to provide a consumer for the custom queue in Amazon SQS?

• To reduce the cost of operations

• To increase the speed of data processing

• To enhance the security of the queue

• To ensure events are pulled from the ordering microservices

What change is necessary for the event bus target system?

• Changing the target from ordering microservices to Amazon SQS

• Removing all targets from the event bus

• Targeting the event bus to a new database

• Increasing the number of event bus targets

What is the main goal of refactoring the event bus target system?

• To reduce the number of events processed

• To increase the number of microservices

• To break dependencies and ensure proper event flow

• To improve the user interface
