Do I need to manually register all my web app’s endpoints to the Cloud Map? – July 23, 2022 at 10:35PM

We are planning to break down our monolithic web app into several microservices.

Initially, we’ll be having the following microservices:

• User (user management)
• CSV (csv processing)
• Email (email rendering and sending)
• Review Center (where users can review their information)
• Front end (ReactJS UI, CloudFront)

The plan is for the ReactJS CloudFront to provide the UI and then make API calls to the above-mentioned microservices.

Question: do I need to manually register each of the microservices endpoints to AWS CloudMap? For example, I have user.mydomain.com/list, user.mydomain.com/add, csv.mydomain.com/upload , csv.mydomain.com/process, etc.. Do I need to manually add these URL to AWS CloudMap?

My idea of AWS CloudMap is it will act as a registry for these endpoints so that we will no longer maintain a config file to list all our API endpoints.

​

Thank you!
