Need more explanation about microservices

[BjoernKW]

Hi, thanks for getting in touch. Unfortunately, these specific patterns and microservices in general are beyond the scope of "Stratospheric - From Zero to Production with Spring Boot and AWS".

These links might help you get started with this subject, though:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/service-discovery.html
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/microservices-on-aws/service-discovery.html
https://tomgregory.com/how-to-deploy-eureka-into-aws-ecs/

Thanks a lot for the links. I think this topic in next edition of the book would be great. Because nowadays most of the people using clouds for microservices development.

There's no need for most of the Spring Cloud projects (except Spring Cloud AWS). For example, service discovery comes out of the box with the ALB (Load Balancer). You can access your microservices with a stable domain name and the load balancer internally "discovers" all your instances.

Also, the Spring Cloud Config server is not needed, as with the AWS Parameter Store or the Secret Manager you can outsource the configuration values.

We recommend using as many cloud services as possible (where it makes sense) to avoid any maintenance efforts for a self-hosted Eureka or Spring Cloud Config Server.

Thanks for the advise. I have found in articles that you colleague sent me that there exists approach for service discovery with Cloud Map. What approach should be used and when, Service discovery ELB (ALB) based or Cloud Map based? Some articles say that Cloud Map based is client side approach and therefor is faster. What is your opinion?

I've never worked with Cloud Map so far and hence can only vote for ELB :D
