Hands-On Microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud

By: Magnus Larsson

Overview of this book

Microservices architecture allows developers to build and maintain applications with ease, and enterprises are rapidly adopting it to build software using Spring Boot as their default framework. With this book, you’ll learn how to efficiently build and deploy microservices using Spring Boot. This microservices book will take you through tried and tested approaches to building distributed systems and implementing microservices architecture in your organization. Starting with a set of simple cooperating microservices developed using Spring Boot, you’ll learn how you can add functionalities such as persistence, make your microservices reactive, and describe their APIs using Swagger/OpenAPI. As you advance, you’ll understand how to add different services from Spring Cloud to your microservice system. The book also demonstrates how to deploy your microservices using Kubernetes and manage them with Istio for improved security and traffic management. Finally, you’ll explore centralized log management using the EFK stack and monitor microservices using Prometheus and Grafana. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build microservices that are scalable and robust using Spring Boot and Spring Cloud.

Adding an authorization server to our system landscape

To be able to run tests locally and fully automated with APIs that are secured using OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect, we will add an OAuth 2.0-based authorization server to our system landscape. Spring Security 5.1 does not, unfortunately, provide an authorization server out of the box. But there is a legacy project (currently in maintenance mode), Spring Security OAuth, that provides an authorization server that we can use.

In fact, in the samples provided by Spring Security 5.1, a project using the authorization server from Spring Security OAuth is available. It is configured to use JWT-encoded access tokens, and it also exposes an endpoint for a JSON Web Key Set (JWKS) (part of the OpenID Connect Discovery standard), a set of keys containing the public keys that can be used by resource servers...
