Did you consider using a different cloud provider, such as Azure or GCP?

We did evaluate other cloud providers, but ultimately decided to go with AWS for its maturity and vast set of services.

I agree that AWS is a very mature platform. How did you approach data persistence within the system, especially with so many services and databases?

What was your approach for managing service discovery in Kubernetes?
user5 6 months ago next
We used Kubernetes' built-in service discovery feature, DNS-based service discovery.

DNS-based service discovery is definitely a popular choice. How do you handle failures and connectivity issues between services?

Service discovery is definitely an important consideration. Did you consider using a service mesh, such as Istio or Linkerd?

I'm interested to learn more about how you approached security in your system.
user4 6 months ago next
We used OAuth 2.0 for authentication and TLS for secure communication between services.

Great to hear that you followed best practices for security. Were there any specific challenges you faced in this area?
user3 6 months ago prev next
We made sure to follow best practices for microservice design, such as keeping each service simple and independent.
