Microservice Security for CloudFoundry applications
Request -> Go-Router -> Reverse Proxy -> Application -> Proxy -> Go-Router
Proxy
Authorization
The proxy is a HTTP proxy that will add the Authorization header to any
request that goes to a configured domain. This enables an application to not
worry about refresh and access tokens and just focus on its business logic.
GET Caching
The proxy caches results for GET requests to enable the application to more
freely make requests without concerns of DDOSing peers or the system. This
gives the application a more performat feel with no extra work.
Reverse Proxy
The reveres proxy sits ahead of the application to ensure that any request
made to the application has the Authorization header set with a JWT that
has access to the application. Each reqeust is taken to CAPI's
/v3/apps/<GUID endpoint. If the JWT does not result in a 200, then the
request is returned with a 401 (it is recommended to use the reverse proxy
with the proxy for the GET caching).
