Explains why modern apps are being reworked from monoliths into decoupled microservices and the database consequences: instead of one general-purpose database, each microservice can use a purpose-built database. Describes AWS’s catalog of over 15 specialized database engines and presents reference architectures and use cases showing how to choose and deploy the appropriate AWS database for different microservice functions.
