Securing Cloud Native Apps

A no-fluff guide to implementing best security practices for microservices in the cloud written by a team of experienced security engineers at Snapchat.
This book takes you through every step of secure software development and deployment for microservices - the discrete functions within a larger application.
Readers begin by exploring core security tenets, then dive into developing microservices and securing infrastructure. Along the way, they'll gain the skills to think like a security engineer at scale and effectively plan secure designs.
Each chapter provides step-by-step explanations of vital concepts, practical examples, mistakes to look out for, and quizzes to test the reader's knowledge. Whether you're a one-person security team or a larger group, this book equips you with the skills to build a full-fledged microservices security discipline.
