Spring Boot Microservices (Part 4): Securing API Gateway with JWT & Role-Based Authorization

Welcome to Part 4 of our Spring Boot Microservices series! In this video, we'll take a deep dive into securing your API Gateway using JWT Authentication and implementing Role-Based Authorization. We'll configure CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) to ensure secure communication between services while allowing specific origins. By the end of this tutorial, you'll understand how to: Set up role-based access control in Spring Cloud Gateway. Secure microservice communication using JWT tokens. Configure CORS for flexible and secure cross-origin requests. Protect your endpoints based on user roles in Spring Boot 3.3.4 and Java 21. This video builds on concepts from our previous tutorials: Part 1: Setting up PostgreSQL & Docker for your microservices. Part 2: Configuring an Eureka Server and connecting it with the Authorization Service. Part 3: Implementing JWT Authentication to secure your microservices.
