The access control allows only authorized clients to access the backend server resources by authenticating the client and providing granular-level access based on who the client is. This post focuses on three solution architecture patterns that prevent unauthorized clients from gaining access to web application backend servers. […]

Many workloads in the cloud need a front-end interface for interacting with APIs, either for populating content or for consuming it.
