The LEGO Group was a super early adopter of the serverless mindset and associated technology. It is time to review how one of its core products continues to operate and innovate three years on.

In this talk, we will look at how serverless and event-driven architecture power the LEGO Group’s payments platform, Brickbank, and how it facilitates e-commerce on a global scale. We’ll explore the entire software delivery life-cycle of the payments platform, including development, testing, release, and observability.

We will look at some of the core AWS services that play crucial roles in the platform’s architecture, including Lambda, Step Functions, DynamoDB, EventBridge, CDK, and Macie. We will also assess how a mature serverless application remains up-to-date with constantly evolving best practices, industry trends, and feature requests.
