Security considerations in microservices architectures This section aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the security implications that come with adopting a microservices approach. We will delve into the complexities introduced by this architectural style,…

Complexity of communication channels – Designing Secure Microservices Architectures in AWS

11 August, 2023 Esther Derrick 0 Comments 5 categories

Complexity of communication channels In a monolithic system, the components are tightly coupled, and communication happens within the same system memory. However, in a microservices architecture, services often run in different environments, possibly even scattered…

Lightweight components – Designing Secure Microservices Architectures in AWS

15 April, 2023 Esther Derrick 0 Comments 5 categories

Lightweight components In the world of microservices, there exists an interesting paradox when it comes to security. On the one hand, the overall architecture of an application built on microservices is inherently more complex, thereby…

Zero trust principle – Designing Secure Microservices Architectures in AWS

10 February, 2023 Esther Derrick 0 Comments 6 categories

Zero trust principle The zero trust model is founded on the principle of never trust, always verify, which is especially crucial in microservices architecture. In such an environment, each microservice operates in its own isolated…

Service mesh – Designing Secure Microservices Architectures in AWS

11 July, 2022 Esther Derrick 0 Comments 3 categories

Service mesh In a microservices architecture, a service mesh serves as a dedicated infrastructure layer that abstracts the complexity of service-to-service communication into a configurable infrastructure layer. It provides a range of functionalities, from load…
