microservices

Over the last few days I've been playing with the micro service pattern and all is going well but security seems to baffle me. So If I may ask a question: How do I handle user authentication on an individual service? At the moment I pass a request to the Gateway API which in turns connects to the service. Question Edited Please See Below Bearing in mind that the individual services should not know about each other. The Gateway is the aggregator as such. Current architecture. A little code to simulate the request: Frontend - Client App public class EntityRepository<T> { private IGateway

According to this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/41811770/2849613 I would like to get a little bit more information about best practices with microservices on Heroku. The question is which approach is better? Install every services as independent app, and use one of them as REST "proxy" (for example Netflix Eureka)? Or Create docker based approach with, for example Netflix Zuul as a load balancer? On my own I see already some pros and cons of both approaches: Pros : better scalability (easy to create new machines for bigger load). Cons : communication between services goes "outside of

Let's say I'm using an GCE ingress to handle traffic from outside the cluster and terminate TLS ( https://example.com/api/items ), from here the request gets routed to one of two services that are only available inside the cluster. So far so good. What if I have to call service B from service A, should I go all the way and use the cluster's external IP/domain and use HTTPS ( https://example.com/api/user/1 ) to call the service or could I use the internal IP of the service and use HTTP ( http://serviceb/api/user/1 )? Do I have to encrypt the data or is it "safe" as long as it isn't leaving the

I was looking for differences b/w SOA and Microservices architecture style and found a good link https://www.infoq.com/articles/boot-microservices It Says: As a successor to "Service Oriented Architecture" (SOA), microservices can be categorized in the same family of "distributed systems", and carry forward many of the same concepts and practices of SOA. Where they differ, however, is in terms of the scope of responsibility given to an individual service. In SOA, a service may be responsible for handling a wide range of functionality and data domains, while a general guideline for a

I am still trying to make sense of micro service architecture. The idea to separate different application (include the database) excites me. But I am still confused if there are two micro-services e.g. Product and User. both product and user own table product and user respectively in their database. According to best practice in micro service, we only can access the database from the service. The problem is, let us suppose we have product table that has user_id column. We want to do search product which also return the name of the user who create the product. This requires join between product

We're dockerizing our micro services app, and I ran into some discovery issues. The app is configured as follows: When the a service is started in 'non-local' mode, it uses Consul as its Discovery registry. When a service is started in 'local' mode, it automatically binds an address per service (For example, tcp://localhost:61001, tcp://localhost:61002 and so on. Hard coded addresses) After dockerizing the app (for local mode only, for now) each service is a container (Docker images orchestrated with docker-compose. And with docker-machine, if that matters) But one service can not interact

I am developing a code from https://www.dineshonjava.com/microservices-with-spring-boot/ . When I update the spring-boot-starter-parent from 1.5.4.RELEASE to 2.0.4.RELEASE , build got failed. Could anyone please guide me what is the issue ? Project build error: 'dependencies.dependency.version' for org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-eureka-server:jar is missing. Another error: Multiple annotations found at this line: - For artifact {org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-eureka-server:null:jar}: The version cannot be empty.

I am very new to the microservices and trying to run the code from link: https://dzone.com/articles/advanced-microservices-security-with-spring-and-oa . When I simply run the code I see the following error comes. What is the issue ? com.netflix.discovery.shared.transport.TransportException: Cannot execute request on any known server at com.netflix.discovery.shared.transport.decorator.RetryableEurekaHttpClient.execute(RetryableEurekaHttpClient.java:111) ~[eureka-client-1.4.12.jar:1.4.12] at com.netflix.discovery.shared.transport.decorator.EurekaHttpClientDecorator.getApplications
