Secure Spring Boot REST API with Apache APISIX API Gateway

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on dev.to

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • For this demonstration, we’ll leverage the demo projectapisix-security-java-spring I prepared in advance. You can see it on Github.

  • apisix-docker

    the docker for Apache APISIX

  • The apisix-security-java-spring project makes use of the similar example APISIX docker compose template.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • frank_jwt

    JSON Web Token implementation in Rust.

  • API security is a term referring to practices and products that prevent malicious attacks on, Application program interfaces (API). Because APIs have become key to programming web-based interactions, they have become a target for hackers. As a result, basic authentication, requiring only user names and passwords, has been replaced with various forms of security methods, such as multifactor authentication (MFA) or tokens like JWT Web Tokens.

  • Docker Compose

    Define and run multi-container applications with Docker

  • In this walkthrough, we are going to look at some of the Apache APISIX API Gateway built-in plugins for securing your Spring Boot REST APIs and demonstrate how to effectively use them. You will learn to run the multi-container app (backend, db, apisix and etcd together) with Docker compose. It contains also conceptual knowledge about API Security, the important role of the API gateway in handling cross-cutting concerns, and how Apache APISIX can help you to simplify and accelerate the task of securing APIs.
