Zero Trust with Microservices – it’s easier than you think!
If you think these security problems with microservices through to their logical conclusion, you will see that only a zero trust approach can provide sufficient security protection. Zero trust means that basically no (micro) service can be trusted, not even if it is located in a trusted zone.

Choreography vs Orchestration in serverless microservices
Should there be a central orchestrator controlling all interactions between services or should each service work independently and interact through events? This is the central question in the choreography vs orchestration debate. In orchestration, a central service defines and controls the flow of traffic between services. With centralization, it becomes...

It is all about microservice-based architectures
In this interview, Kai Tödter emphasise that teams have to think carefully how microservices should interact with each other, like using orchestration or choreography. The services themselves should be self-contained or use resilience patterns when they need data of other microservices.
