Service Discovery on Aws : eureka vs aws solution

Question

Trying to understand, is there a need in euruka on aws? If not whast tools are used for service discovery? How service can fetch endpoints of services without eureka? If i want to run locally service and connect to service in aws.

Answer 1

Assuming that you want to use ECS for microservices.

You don't really need a third party service discovery for ECS, because ECS provides by default a registry of service names, see: docs.

Although, if you don't want to use what ECS offers, or you are using EKS, you can rely on Eureka to be an option.
