Securing Microservices and APIs with NGINX and Signal Sciences When you break apart the monolith to move to microservices architectures, you have to secure the components A shift is happening in the industry. Monolithic web applications are being decomposed into microservices. By breaking up applications into small, decoupled services, developers are able to independently change components of their application. This architectural approach can have a ripple effect that drastically shrinks the total time to deliver changes and simultaneously reduces risk. Generally, the move to microservices is paired with the cultural shift to Agile and DevOps. These cultural movements have filtered through many organizations, breaking down silos that once impaired delivery. Microservices pulls apart once-dependent systems and allows teams to move faster in all stages, from development to runtime operations. The move to microservices impacts development, performance, monitoring and — as [ more… ]
