This Chapter covered the different services to refactor larger systems into smaller components that can communicate with each other through infrastructure services. Microservices architecture is a method to design and build software applications as a suite of modular services, each performing a specific functional task, which deploy and access application components via well-defined standard application programming interfaces (APIs). Where possible, you automate the provisioning, termination, and configuration of resources. Message-oriented middleware (MoM) supports messaging types in which the messages that are produced (producers) can broadcast and publish to multiple message consumers, also known as message subscribers. Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) is a fully managed message queuing service that makes it easy to decouple and scale microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications to assist in event-driven solutions.
