A web application firewall (WAF) is an important tool for controlling the traffic of a cloud-native system. A WAF protects the system by blocking traffic from common exploits such as bad bots, SQL injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), HTTP floods, and known attackers. We effectively create a perimeter around the system that blocks traffic at the edge of the cloud before it can impact system resources. We can use many of the techniques in this book to monitor internal and external resources and dynamically update the firewall rules as the flow of traffic changes. Managed rules are also available on the market, so we can leverage the extensive security expertise of third parties. In this recipe, we will demonstrate how the pieces fit together by creating a rule to block traffic from outside a corporate network and associate the WAF with a...

Overview of this book
Cloud-native development is a modern approach to building and running applications that leverages the merits of the cloud computing model. With cloud-native development, teams can deliver faster and in a more lean and agile manner as compared to traditional approaches. This recipe-based guide provides quick solutions for your cloud-native applications.
Beginning with a brief introduction, JavaScript Cloud-Native Development Cookbook guides you in building and deploying serverless, event-driven, cloud-native microservices on AWS with Node.js. You'll then move on to the fundamental patterns of developing autonomous cloud-native services and understand the tools and techniques involved in creating globally scalable, highly available, and resilient cloud-native applications. The book also covers multi-regional deployments and leveraging the edge of the cloud to maximize responsiveness, resilience, and elasticity.
In the latter chapters you'll explore techniques for building fully automated, continuous deployment pipelines and gain insights into polyglot cloud-native development on popular cloud platforms such as Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). By the end of the book, you'll be able to apply these skills to build powerful cloud-native solutions.
