🔐 Is Your Microservice Secure? Learn to Restrict API Calls to Gateway Only! 🚀 | .NET 8 & Ocelot 🌟 In our previous blog (🔗 Hassle-Free API Management: Use Ocelot for Smooth Microservice API Gateway & Simplify Your Life! 🚀🎯) , we explored how to build and configure an API Gateway using Ocelot in .NET 8 microservices. Today, we're taking it a step further by ensuring that each web API in our microservice architecture listens ONLY to the API Gateway. This means we'll configure our services to reject any API call coming from outside the gateway address and port. This setup is crucial for maintaining a secure and efficient microservice environment. Let's dive in and see why this is important and how you can implement it! Scenario Example : Imagine a scenario where you have multiple microservices handling sensitive data. Without restricting access to the API Gateway, a malicious ac
