Summary

In this chapter, we went through our hardening layer. We looked at all the vulnerabilities our service is exposed to, and we learned about how to address them. We looked at some fundamentals, such as rate limiting, session handling, how to prevent parameter pollution, and more. We got acquainted with security at the container level and went through all the best practices for handling microservice security before moving on to scalability. We looked at Kubernetes and the Amazon load balancer, and got hands-on with both.

So far, you have learned how to build microservices using TpeScript on the Node.js platform and learned about all the aspects of microservice development, right from developing, the API Gateway, service registry, discovery, inter-service communication, Swagger, deployment, and testing. The objective of the book was to give you a practical hands-on guide to the microservice development and an understanding of the basic aspects to get you up and running. I really hope...
