AWS service for business events published by microservices

Question

Is there an AWS service where microservices can log events(with flexible schema) like json documents but these can be queried. I want to publish events for business analysis and debugging.

Answer

Hi kuldeepiitg,

a typical approach is to centralize logs in special AWS account, and one way is outlined here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/microservices-on-aws/distributed-monitoring.html#centralizing-logs and https://docs.aws.amazon.com/solutions/latest/centralized-logging-on-aws/overview.html.

Depending on your workload, microservices (serverless or container based) have capability to have S3 and CloudWatch as target destination, often with streaming capabilities such as Kinesis Data Firehose. From there, to high performant search engines such as CloudWatch Insights, AWS OpenSearch/Kibana and/or Athena.

Hope it clarifies
