About the technology Integrating independent services into a single system presents special security challenges in a microservices deployment. With proper planning, however, you can build in security from the start. Learn to create secure services and protect application data throughout development and deployment. As microservices continue to change enterprise application systems, developers and architects must learn to integrate security into their design and implementation. Because microservices are created as a system of independent components, each a possible point of failure, they can multiply the security risk. With proper planning, design, and implementation, you can reap the benefits of microservices while keeping your application data—and your company’s reputation—safe!

Summary Spring Microservices in Action teaches you how to build microservice-based applications using Java and the Spring platform. Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications. About the technology Microservices break up your code into small, distributed, and independent services that require careful forethought and design. Fortunately, Spring Boot and Spring Cloud simplify your microservice applications, just as the Spring Framework simplifies enterprise Java development. Spring Boot removes the boilerplate code involved with writing a REST-based service. Spring Cloud provides a suite of tools for the discovery, routing, and deployment of microservices to the enterprise and the cloud. About the Book Spring Microservices in Action teaches you how to build microservice-based applications using Java and the Spring platform. You'll learn to do microservice design as you build and deploy your first Spring Cloud application. Throughout the book, carefully selected real-life examples expose microservice-based patterns for configuring, routing, scaling, and deploying your services. You'll see how Spring's intuitive tooling can help augment and refactor existing applications with micro services. What's Inside Core microservice design principles Managing configuration with Spring Cloud Config Client-side resiliency with Spring, Hystrix, and Ribbon Intelligent routing using Netflix Zuul Deploying Spring Cloud applications About the Reader This book is written for developers with Java and Spring experience.

Security is usually an afterthought when organizations design microservices for cloud systems. Most companies today are exposed to potential security threats, but their response is more reactive than proactive. That leads to unnecessarily complicated architecture that's harder to implement and even harder to manage and scale. Author Gaurav Raje shows you how to build highly secure systems on AWS without increasing overhead. Ideal for cloud solution architects and software developers with AWS experience, this practical book starts with a high-level architecture and design discussion, then explains how to implement your solution in the cloud in a secure but frictionless manner. By leveraging the AWS Shared Responsibility Model, you'll be able to: Achieve complete mediation in microservices at the infrastructure level Implement a secure and reliable audit trail of all events within the system Develop architecture that aims to simplify compliance with various regulations in finance, medicine, and legal services Put systems in place that detect anomalous behavior and alert the proper administrators in case of a breach Scale security mechanisms on individual microservices independent of each other.
