AWS Cloud Map vs. Cortex

AWS Cloud Map is a cloud resource discovery service. With Cloud Map, you can define custom names for your application resources, and it maintains the updated location of these dynamically changing resources. This increases your application availability because your web service always discovers the most up-to-date locations of its resources.

Engineering organizations grow faster than their processes. Services multiply, ownership gets murky, and institutional knowledge walks out the door with every departure. Standards that made sense at 50 engineers break down at 500. When something goes wrong, teams spend hours figuring out who's responsible which delays fixing the problem. When leadership asks how engineering is improving, there's no reliable answer. Cortex is the Engineering Operations Platform that changes this.
