AWS Cloud Messaging and Queuing

Application Architecture

There are two main approaches to connecting components in an application architecture:

Monolithic

All components are tightly coupled and run as a single unit. If one component fails, the entire application can go down.

Microservices

Components are loosely coupled and communicate through messaging. If one component fails, others continue working normally.

Messaging and Queuing

To handle communication in a microservices architecture, we use messaging and queuing to transmit data and fulfill requests.

AWS messaging services allows components to communicate asynchronously, so failures don't cascade through the application.
