Mastering Microservices with Java - Third Edition

By: Sourabh Sharma

Overview of this book

Microservices are key to designing scalable, easy-to-maintain applications. This latest edition of Mastering Microservices with Java, works on Java 11. It covers a wide range of exciting new developments in the world of microservices, including microservices patterns, interprocess communication with gRPC, and service orchestration. This book will help you understand how to implement microservice-based systems from scratch. You'll start off by understanding the core concepts and framework, before focusing on the high-level design of large software projects. You'll then use Spring Security to secure microservices and test them effectively using REST Java clients and other tools. You will also gain experience of using the Netflix OSS suite, comprising the API Gateway, service discovery and registration, and Circuit Breaker. Additionally, you'll be introduced to the best patterns, practices, and common principles of microservice design that will help you to understand how to troubleshoot and debug the issues faced during development. By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to build smaller, lighter, and faster services that can be implemented easily in a production environment.

Securing Microservices

Microservices are the components that are deployed either on-premises or in cloud environments. Microservices can offer external APIs or web APIs for UI apps. Our sample application, OTRS, offers APIs. This chapter will focus on how to secure these APIs using Spring Security and Spring OAuth2. We'll also focus on OAuth 2.0 fundamentals, using OAuth 2.0 to secure the OTRS APIs. For more information on securing REST APIs, you can refer to RESTful Java Web Services Security, Packt Publishing. You can also refer to the Spring Security, Packt Publishing video for more information on Spring Security. We'll also learn about cross-origin request site filters and cross-site scripting blockers.

Covering security in a single chapter is a Herculean task. Therefore, we will only cover the following topics:

  • Secure Socket Layer
  • Securing microservices by adding...
