Amazon strives to be Earth's most customer-centric company where people can find and discover virtually anything they want to buy online. By giving customers more of what they want - low prices, vast selection, and convenience - Amazon continues to grow and evolve as a world-class e-commerce platform.

Founded by Jeff Bezos, the Amazon.com website started in 1995 as a place to buy books because of the unique customer experience the Web could offer book lovers. Bezos believed that only the Internet could offer customers the convenience of browsing a selection of millions of book titles in a single sitting. During the first 30 days of business, Amazon fulfilled orders for customers in 50 states and 45 countries - all shipped from his Seattle-area garage.

Amazon's evolution from Web site to e-commerce partner to development platform is driven by the spirit of innovation that is part of the company's DNA. The world's brightest technology minds come to Amazon.com to research and develop technology that improves the lives of shoppers and sellers around the world.

Service Mesh Platforms

The AWS Apps Mesh is like a proxy that controls our microservices environment and handles all of the network traffic between microservices and provides visibility, traffic control, and security capabilities to all our microservices. It's used in the context of Microservices implementation and handles the communication and monitoring of microservices. Helps to isolate communication issues between microservices.

Product Usage

Pros and Cons

Standardization of microservices communication.
Traceability and visibility of communication across microservices.
Identify and Isolate issues in microservices communication.
Monitoring and sending data to CloudWatch.

Things done well

Increase the limit of for a set of resources: virtual nodes and virtual gateways.
Expert availability: not easy to find experts.

Things done poorly

Useful in scenarios where we use a complex microservices-based implementation with the complexity of inter-service communication. Can use App Mesh with services running on any compute services such as Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS, and Amazon EC2. Can be used to isolate errors and pinpoint the error location and also to re-route.

High ROI as it facilitates operational monitoring and root cause analysis.
Ensures to re-route and distribute traffic sustaining operational availability and performance - +ve for ROI.
Service discovery enables service run time governance - +ve for ROI.

Return on Investment

Istio is high on operational costs as compared to AppMesh. HIgher learning curve for ISTIO as compared to AppMesh. Multi cluster support in AWS. App Mesh has IAM integration which is a plus for AWS workloads.
