Integrate Amazon SQS with Eventbrite

Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS. is a message-queuing system that provides reliable, highly scalable hosted services to decouple distributed components of cloud applications. It can be used for messaging between microservices and distributed components of an application or between different applications altogether.SQS is a fully managed service that makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a distributed application without having to worry about building and running a highly available and scalable messaging infrastructure.The Eventbrite API is an interface that allows developers to programmatically access the functionality of Eventbrite.com. With the Eventbrite API, you can create events and sell tickets, check status and statistics of events, get information on attendees, etc.Eventbrite has a detailed guide on using their API here .

Integration with Amazon SQS allows Eventbrite to utilize the reliable and scalable hosted queuing provided by Amazon SQS to decouple components of its backend systems.Eventbrite is one of the world's largest event platforms used by organizers to promote and sell tickets for their events. The platform was founded in 2006 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California. They have offices in London, Berlin, Sydney, Melbourne, Buenos Aires, São Paulo, Singapore and New Delhi. As of December 2017, they had processed over 200 million tickets worth over $5 billion USD.Eventbrite charges a commission fee for each ticket sold through their platform. This commission fee depends on the type of event and the country in which it is taking place. This fee is paid after the organizer has made back their initial investment and has earned back their money that was used to produce and market the event.The Eventbrite API can be used to integrate Amazon SQS into your own application. One use case could be for an application that receives payments from users for events that are going to be organized through Eventbrite's platform. The payments will be stored in Amazon SQS until the organizer collects the payment amount required for production and marketing of the event.With integration of Amazon SQS and Eventbrite, the application can push events that are going to be organized through Eventbrite's platform into Amazon SQS. This will allow the application to efficiently store these events and fetch them whenever it needs to display them to users.Eventbrite can also pull events from Amazon SQS whenever there is a new event that has been created by an organizer via Eventbrite's platform, this way they are able to synchronize their data with Amazon SQS without having to write complex code.Benefits of Integration of Amazon SQS and Eventbrite

This integration will allow Eventbrite to seamlessly queue events created by organizers via its backend systems into Amazon SQS, where they can be fetched when needed by third party applications such as payment processing systems or other 3 rd party applications that need to be involved in the organization of an event before it actually takes place.Eventbrite has more than 180 employees worldwide across 8 offices located in 5 different countries. It is growing at an average rate of 20% year over year. This growth requires Eventbrite to build scalable and robust backend systems capable of handling spikes in traffic on their platform caused by various events taking place all around the world (think Super Bowl. An example of how they handle such spikes is the Super Bowl, which attracts millions of ticket buyers across the globe. For this event alone, they had prepared for 1 million concurrent users by using a mix of AWS technologies such as EC2 Auto Scaling Groups (ASGs), ELBs, Route53, CloudFront and DynamoDB.As you can see from the image above, integration with Amazon SQS will allow Eventbrite to create a simple queueing system for its backend systems that can easily scale up or down depending upon the load on its platform.Amazon SQS also provides integration with custom applications via SDKs in Java, .NET, PHP, Ruby, Python and mobile applications using native APIs for iOS and Android devices.Consumers of this integration can gain from increased flexibility, scalability, reliability and cost effectiveness of using Amazon SQS as opposed to building their own queuing system.
