Word of the day: Orchestration meaning: the planning or coordination of the elements of a situation to produce a desired effect. 🌟 Orchestration in the Cloud — Made Simple Confused about SNS, SQS, EventBridge, Airflow, and Step Functions? Here’s the cheat sheet: Airflow 🌬 → Data pipelines & batch jobs. Schedule + dependencies. Step Functions 🧭 → AWS workflows. Event-driven, handles retries & failures. EventBridge ⚡ → Event routing. Lightweight orchestration, mostly triggers services. SNS/SQS 📨📦 → Messaging & queuing, not orchestration. 💡 Mental model: Airflow = “Run pipeline step by step” Step Functions = “Process workflow, handle failures” EventBridge = “React to events” Orchestration = controlling what runs, in what order, with retries. Messaging = just communication. #CloudComputing #AWS #Orchestration #Airflow #StepFunctions #EventBridge #DataEngineer #LearninginPublic
