Today’s blog post is about the awesome IBM Garage Cloud Native Toolkit to support continuous integration and continuous delivery (CICD).
I want to provide a basic overview from my perspective, which I structured in following sections:
This blog post is a cheat sheet to get started with the initial technical implementation of unit tests for REST endpoints implemented in Node.js and is structured in following sections:
In that project I want to …
… secure the Microservice with Authentication
… secure a specific REST Endpoint invocation of the Microservice Authorization
… test the access to the Microservice with a JUnit test.
The Microservice runs on OpenLiberty and uses MicroProfile. The example Microservice is called Authors and is from the open sourced Cloud Native Starter project. So, you can compare the implementation of the Authors Microservice in this project with the implementation in the Cloud Native Starter project. The example doesn’t use a frontend UI for the Authentication. The JUnit test will authenticate with the Keycloak REST API.
Here is a 7 min YouTube video about the setup of the example:
The objective of this blog post is to share with you an extract of a “simple” example project on GitHub I created to get started with: How to access a Java Microservice using the Open Source Identity and Access Management with Keycloak and JavaWebToken (JWT).
