Building event-driven pipelines with SQS and S3

The final installment of a five-part series explores how to automate data workflows using S3 Event Notifications and Amazon SQS, enabling real-time, event-driven data pipelines with Redpanda. By configuring an S3 bucket to send notifications to an SQS queue upon new object creation, Redpanda Connect can listen to this queue to automatically process incoming data. This setup leverages AWS-native services to build robust, automated data ingestion pipelines directly from S3 to Redpanda streams without manual intervention. The series provides a detailed walkthrough of setting up S3 Event Notifications, configuring Redpanda Connect to monitor the SQS queue, and deploying an event-driven pipeline that reacts to new data uploads. It also highlights best practices such as cleaning up resources to avoid unnecessary costs, encouraging users to explore Redpanda Serverless for efficient, real-time data streaming without the complexity of managing infrastructure.
