Securing Microservices
If you're using microservices and care about security, do yourself a favor and use a monorepo.<p>A lot of improving security is about changing things in small ways but across the entire fleet. If you have microservices without a monorepo you oftentimes need to make the same changes in potentially hundreds of places.<p>This makes it a lot easier to do things like enforce standards for repos. Code coverage. Testing. Unsafe function use. Repo sprawl makes microservice security very challenging, and it isn't mentioned in this blog post. Losing track of services and leaving specific services behind is not good.
