Is CoWorks …

… a complete unified approach?

The hardest part of using the microservice approach is to be able to control, deploy, maintain and debug composition of many microservices. Having a compositional approach is the key for production usage. CoWorks integrates all information and convention to simplify such composition.

… independant of any specific IaaS?

No, it relies only on AWS solutions. There are already performant solutions to abstract any cloud providers such as Zappa, Serverless… The aim of the CoWorks project is to simplify the experience of using microservices in production with AWS technologies not to provide a new model.

… complicated?

No, the CoWorks framework is based on twos kinds of services:

• Simple atomic microservices called TechMicroservices.

• Composed microservices called BizMicroservices.

The model uses mainly Lambda and Airflow technologies but those complex but awesome technologies are used in asimplified manner for users.
