Excellent JOB Raj, I always loved the way to represent the things in your videos, the videos which are available on the YouTube under your channel are always priceless Pearls for me.
I would like to request to add few points like, 1. Synchronous and Asynchronous Invocation Methods, Payload Difference to travel from source to Destination and Return, Type of Data/payload to be send or received while call the invocation/msg forwarding, Layer-Specification on Functionality. I hope, the things which I have mentioned might be helpful or can be considering for the comparisons. Let me know if I am wrong. Thanks

Is it possible to connect api http gateway with ecs service without using an application load balancer. Will the gateway act as a load balancer?

[hamidullahmuslih]

Thanks Raj for your awesome work, btw AFAIK the ALB IPs are all dynamic, just the DNS name of the ALB is static. Can you please elaborate more on this?

[rohitsanthosh]

Raj great video. We can use ALB with IP address as target for my backend targets in different account with TGW for communication?

[gauravdas]

This is what I was looking for, very informative. Thank you for uploading

Sir, please let us know, how to create web development or real client level infrastructure development with AWS compute database and other components...

[anshikagupta]

Great Video.. I believe ALB can have cross-region/ acconut targets by leveraging VPC peering and registering targets by IP address..

[KangJangkrik]

Wow RGB to the next level, Linus proud of you

[funisthename]
