Microservices on AWS

by AWS Whitepapers

August 2019 Microservices are an architectural and organizational approach to software development designed to speed up deployment cycles, foster innovation and ownership, and improve maintainability and scalability of software applications. This approach includes scaling organizations that deliver software and services. Using a microservices approach, software is composed of small independent services that communicate over well-defined APIs. These services are owned by small self-contained teams.In this whitepaper, we summarize the common characteristics of microservices, talk about the main challenges of building microservices, and describe how product teams can leverage Amazon Web Services (AWS) to overcome those challenges.This documentation is offered for free here as a Kindle book, or you can read it in PDF format at

It needs more work in the Distributed Systems Components or references to further information on these kind of cross-service challenges. Async Messaging and Audit are topics covered with examples but not with a reference architecture.
