Nice video. A question - can load balancer perform authentication like API GW does? At 21:18, you've mentioned ALB can perform authentication if needed.
Hello, thank you for providing such an amazing tutorial. I have a question about service registry. Is Eureka considered a form of client-side service discovery? Are there other methods to achieve this without relying on Eureka? Can Kubernetes or Docker serve as alternatives?
It's server side discovery, client side would return you the URL rather than redirecting you to the appropriate service. There are many solution, eureka is one of them.
AWS ALB supports ec2 instances, IP addresses and Lambda functions ( apart from Aws elastic beanstalk or Aws ECS Fargate etc.. where AWS ALB is integrated with the service) as Targets. Did not come across any official documentation where an AWS API gateway which is a PAAS service can be an AWS ALB target.. are you referring to some other IAAS based third party API gateway ? Otherwise it is a great video and great work with the entire playlist, deeply appreciated..
Great Video !! Thanks for answering the questions. Explanation by demoing in AWS really helped. Just a small question, I don't find an option in AWS load balancers to distribute the traffic to API Gateway(s), am I missing something here ?
here are the steps: 1. In the API Gateway console, choose the API you want to integrate with the Application Load Balancer. 2. In the Resources pane, for Methods, choose the HTTP method that your API uses. 3. Choose Integration Request. 4. In the Integration Request pane, for Integration Type, choose HTTP. Refer to this documentation for pointing your load balancer to api gateway aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/api-gateway-application-load-balancers/
Good explanation. But LB and AG seems to be very confused. Should the AG come before the LB or both have the same effect. Can I just delete the AG and just use the LB?
Thanks a lot. I have a question. How to balance traffic between load balancers :D I mean clients still should know wich of two front load balancers should be called.
The way you teach with depth as well as clarity is commendable. Awesome Series. Really liked it.
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for sharing this information!! Very well described and easy to understand. You are an amazing educator.

Yes, absolutely. Check out this documentation

It depends on scenarios. There is no pre defined rules as such. The call should be made based on the use case.
Awesome work
Thanks, you comment means a lot to me
Hi i have question, is it possible to put API gw in front of LB.?because we have ec2 Cluster benind LB
yes you can do that
Hi , you videos are very helpful , could you please share the link of digram as well.
It's great that you found the videos helpful, I would check if I still have the diagrams stored or not.
Thanks a lot.
