Microservices are minimal function services that are deployed separately, but can interact together to function as a broader application. Microservices can be built, changed, and deployed quickly with a relatively small impact, empowering developers to speed up the rate of innovation. In this session, we show how containers help enable microservices-based application architectures, discuss best practices for building new microservices, and cover the AWS services that allow you to build performant microservices applications.
