The microservice architectural style is new, although some of the security practices around the infrastructure and writing secure code are still applicable. In this section, let's discuss some of these practices:
- Standardization of libraries and frameworks: There should be a process to introduce new libraries and frameworks or tools in the development process. This will ease out patching in case any vulnerability is found; it will also minimize the risks introduced by ad hoc implementation of libraries or tools around development.
- Regular vulnerability identification and mitigation: Using the industry standard vulnerability scanner to scan the source code and binaries should be a regular part of development. ...
