AWS Serverless Microservices with Patterns and Best Practices - Microservices Architecture

The video tutorial provides an overview of microservices architecture, highlighting its definition, advantages, and the cloud-native approach. Microservices are small, independently deployable services that communicate over networks, often using HTTP or GRPC APIs. They are built around business capabilities and can be developed using different technologies. The tutorial also references Martin Fowler's insights on microservices and previews the next video on microservices communication.

What is one of the main benefits of microservices architecture?

• They use a single technology stack.

• They are difficult to scale.

• They can be deployed independently.

• They require centralized management.

How do microservices typically communicate with each other?

• Through direct database access.

• Via lightweight mechanisms like HTTP or GRPC APIs.

• Using shared memory.

• Through a centralized server.

What is a characteristic of microservices architecture style?

• It relies on a monolithic application structure.

• It uses a single programming language.

• It develops applications as a suite of small services.

• It requires manual deployment processes.

What is a cloud-native approach in microservices?

• Using a single database for all services.

• Centralizing all service management.

• Composing applications of loosely coupled components.

• Deploying all services on a single server.

How are microservices organized?

• By business capability.

• By database type.

• By programming language.

• By deployment date.
