Spring Boot Mutual Authentication (2 Way SSL/TLS)
In one of my earlier articles on cryptographic basics, I discussed about the 3 basic services provided by cryptographic techniques i.e. confidentiality, integrity and authentication. Let's see how we can have confidentiality and authentication implemented in a Spring Boot Application. SSL/TLS establishes an encrypted link between client and server application such that all the communication between the … Continue reading Spring Boot Mutual Authentication (2 Way SSL/TLS)
Service Discovery – Spring Cloud Eureka
In microservices architecture, we tend to create lot of services which are loosely coupled from each other. Inherently this distributed system design has more inter-service communication and hence each service running in cloud should be able to locate other dependent services easily. Service discovery in the past has been done using service locators or configured … Continue reading Service Discovery – Spring Cloud Eureka
Spring Cloud Configuration
In my previous post on Cloud Native Applications, we discussed the benefits of 12 factor application and the characteristics that makes the application cloud ready. Once of the characteristics we discussed was to store the configuration outside the build artifact. Now let's see how we can leverage Spring Cloud Configuration server to store and inject the configuration that … Continue reading Spring Cloud Configuration
