This is not an exhaustive documentation of all the existing AWS Services. These are summarized notes that I used for the AWS Certifications.

Overview

When we start deploying multiple applications, they will inevitable result in the necessity to communicate with one another.

There are 2 types of integration communication patterns:

• Synchronous communication
• Asynchronous communication

Synchronous communication between applications can be problematic if there are sudden spikes of traffic. As a solution, we can decouple our applications using:

• SQS: queue model

• SNS: pub/sub model

• Kinesis: real-time streaming model
