Our app is now up and running. The real strength of microservice architecture is, however, that the services can be treated individually.

In this chapter, we will go through the following points:
- Scaling microservices and the importance of monitoring: Let's explore how scaling works generically.
- Scaling and monitoring using Amazon Web Services (AWS): Let's take...
