Overview of this book

Microservices is an architectural style that promotes the development of complex applications as a suite of small services based on business capabilities. This book will help you identify the appropriate service boundaries within the business. We'll start by looking at what microservices are, and what the main characteristics are. Moving forward, you will be introduced to real-life application scenarios, and after assessing the current issues, we will begin the journey of transforming this application by splitting it into a suite of microservices. You will identify the service boundaries, split the application into multiple microservices, and define the service contracts. You will find out how to configure, deploy, and monitor microservices, and configure scaling to allow the application to quickly adapt to increased demand in the future. With an introduction to the reactive microservices, you strategically gain further value to keep your code base simple, focusing on what is more important rather than the messy asynchronous calls.

Summary


The microservice architectural style being distributed by design gives us better options to protect valuable business critical system. Traditional .NET-based authentication and authorization techniques are not sufficient and cannot be applied to the microservice world. We also saw why secure-token-based approaches, such as OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect 1.0, are becoming de facto standards for microservice authorization and authentication. If you want to have more general information related to security, do visit Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) at http://www.owasp.org and Microsoft Security development life cycle at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sdl/. Azure AD can very well support OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect 1.0. Azure API Management can also act as an API gateway in microservices' implementation and also provide nifty security features, such as policies.

Azure AD and Azure API management provide quite a few powerful capabilities to monitor and log the requests received...
