Microservices Design Patterns in .NET - Second Edition
By :
This chapter presented a comprehensive exploration of security within the context of microservices-based architectures, with a special focus on modern authentication and authorization models implemented in .NET applications. We began by establishing the importance of security as a foundational element of application development, especially in distributed environments. As microservices proliferate across networks and teams, the attack surface increases, necessitating robust, consistent, and scalable security mechanisms.
The discussion began with a comparison between monolithic and microservices architectures in terms of security responsibilities. While monoliths can centralize authentication and authorization due to their unified deployment, microservices require each service to handle these concerns independently. This decentralization creates challenges in managing identity, enforcing consistent policies, and securing inter-service communication. Developers must protect...
