Serverless CDC and Event Ingestion Patterns into Analytics Pipelines on AWS

When I work on analytics pipelines for event-driven systems, one of the biggest mistakes I see is treating ingestion as “just connect source A to sink B.” In production, ingestion is where a lot of the hard engineering lives: deciding which transport is actually right (EventBridge vs Kinesis vs SQS) handling ordering, duplication, and replay transforming events into a canonical analytics schema delivering to multiple sinks like S3, OpenSearch, and Redshift keeping the design cost-efficient as vo
