Node.js Microservices Authentication and Authorization

Our objective focuses on two essential traffic patterns: North-South and East-West. By the end of this course, you will have a solid grasp and practical experience in securing these two patterns, ensuring the robustness of your microservices architecture.

In this module, we explore the dynamic landscape of microservices security, driven by ever-changing business needs. We will review a concrete business scenario for the Globomantics company, then we will travel through the North-South and East-West flows to ensure airtight protection.

Globomantics faces a pressing business problem: The company recently acquired a promising startup and needs to implement authentication and authorization for that startup's microservices applications. The startup uses the same technology stack as the parent company, but has neither the resources nor the budget to implement these security mechanisms.
