Simplify Integrations with Private APIs using Amazon EventBridge and AWS Step Functions

Are you looking to optimize how your Step Functions connect to VPC resources? While Lambda functions have served us well as intermediaries, there's now an even more efficient way to establish these connections. Thanks to the new VPC Lattice Resource Gateway and Resource Configurations, the new EventBridge private connections can directly and securely connect to private endpoints without additional compute layers. In this solution, I'll show you how to streamline your architecture by setting up direct, secure connections between your Step Functions and VPC resources - even across different AWS accounts! 🛠️ GitHub: https://go.aws/4hkiw0F 📚 Learn more: https://go.aws/41CqfkP 📄 Docs: https://go.aws/41TBzKJ, https://go.aws/3FtHxsW, https://go.aws/3XHG48J, https://go.aws/3XHG4FL Follow AWS Developers! 📺 Instagram: https://go.aws/4hmcZGT 🆇 X: https://go.aws/3XHG5cN 💼 LinkedIn: https://go.aws/41TBAyh 👾 Twitch: https://go.aws/3XHG5tj Follow Eric Johnson! 📺 Instagram: https://go.aws/3XHG5JP 🆇 X: https://go.aws/3XHG60l 🔵 Bluesky: https://go.aws/3DEx7Go 💼 LinkedIn: https://go.aws/3XHG6NT 00:00 Not pineapple!! 00:22 The problem with proxies 00:47 The private application 02:28 Testing privacy with VPC CloudShell 05:09 Creating the Resource gateway 05:35 Creating the Resource configuration 08:00 Creating the EventBridge private connection 10:20 Testing with a Step Function 12:37 Sharing cross account #Serverless #StepFunctions #VPC
