AWS Serverless Microservices with Patterns and Best Practices - Asynchronous Event Sources - Lambda Invocation Types

The video tutorial discusses Lambda invocation types, focusing on the transition from synchronous to asynchronous communication using Amazon Event Bridge. It highlights the benefits of asynchronous processing, such as reduced dependencies and improved responsiveness. The tutorial explains how Amazon Event Bridge facilitates event-driven communication between microservices, specifically in decoupling basket and ordering services. Key concepts include the importance of asynchronous design and the role of Amazon SNS in triggering Lambda functions.

What are the advantages of using asynchronous event sources for Lambda microservices?

Describe the importance of knowing when a downstream task is completed in asynchronous communication.
