Service functions - AWS Resilience Hub

Service functions

Service functions are technical subsets of the service topology that represent specific workflows within a service.

For example, an authentication service might have two service functions:

  • SSO sign-in – involving the identity provider, session store, and token service.

  • Registration – involving the user database, email service, and verification flow.

Service functions help you understand which resources participate in which workflows within a single service. Service functions are identified by the next generation of Resilience Hub during assessment.
