Monolithic Security vs Microservices Security
Developers should understand monolithic security when working with legacy systems, small-scale applications, or projects where simplicity and centralized control are prioritized over scalability and flexibility meets developers should learn microservices security when building or maintaining distributed systems to prevent vulnerabilities like data breaches, unauthorized access, and denial-of-service attacks. Here's our take.
