#1about 4 minutes

The growing complexity of modern application networking

Modern applications built on microservices create challenges like service discovery, routing, and security across different compute types.

#2about 5 minutes

Understanding traditional vs application networking on AWS

Application networking uses intelligent proxies instead of simple routers and leverages AWS services like Transit Gateway and ALBs for connectivity.

#3about 3 minutes

How proxies and sidecars create a service mesh

A service mesh uses sidecar proxies attached to each service, managed by a central control plane, to handle inter-service communication.
