As you adopt modern, serverless, microservices-based architectures, it can become more challenging to monitor and understand the state of your applications at any given time. That’s where event bus capabilities from services like Amazon EventBridge can come in handy. AWS EventBridge can help you build loosely coupled, event-driven architectures and applications, and deploy new features faster.

Distributed architectures are becoming an increasingly important source of application services for organizations. Advances in observability and monitoring are being driven by this trend. But exactly how do observability and monitoring differ from one another? It's essential to know when something goes wrong in the application delivery chain so you can identify the root cause and resolve it before it has an impact on your business.

N+1 queries are the most common problems among developers. N+1 database query problems occur when you have to call the database for N items, and those N items have again N additional data fields which are not in the same table, and those extra N data fields are required for the use case. Generally, this issue is handled at the time of database designing, but every problem cannot be solved efficiently by one solution, some need to be solved by brute force.
