Spring Security Architecture Principles by Daniel Garnier-Moiroux @ Spring I/O 2024

Spring I/O 2024 - Barcelona, 30-31 May

When you need to secure your application, you use Spring Security. It’s the de-facto standard, it’s robust, extensible, and brings sensible defaults to your application. But newcomers can feel lost as soon as they step out of the “Getting Started” guides and need to fine-tune the configuration to their specific use-cases. Developers can find themselves frantically copy-pasting from Stack Overflow until it kinda-sorta works.

Spring Security only uses a handful of core building blocks, and they are present everywhere in the library. Knowing what those are, how they are meant to be used, and how to effectively leverage them will give you the keys you need to implement all your custom needs.

This session aims to provide a useful method for understanding Spring Security’s architecture, and how to customize it. Through some theory (diagrams!) and practice (live coding!), you will get familiar with the general architecture, foundational patterns and common abstractions. No more foraging StackOverflow in despair!

the best thing about this session is that i learned spring security and Spanish both in best way

[ShubhamYadav-ltdt]

This session is fantastic! It simplifies and condenses the essence of Spring Security into one brief session. Love it!

[jesprotech]

This session is great because it simplifies and condenses the core of Spring Security in one short session. Love it! Great session!

[johnsandwich]

it is a very interesting presentation of the material, you do not fall asleep in the first minute of the story. That's how the presentation should be! thank you

[aminesafi]

You oversimplified things, many thanks

[TechTalksWeekly]

This is a great talk and it's been featured in the last issue of Tech Talks Weekly newsletter 🎉
Congrats Daniel! 👏

excellent explanation. been struggling to really get it and this just made it so accessible. the info just passed all my brain's filters and is all sending back 200's! ;)

[huythong]

the most interesting presentation that I have seen.

Really nice security essentials lecture

[ilkou]

my best part is how fast the project is recompiled and can be tested on the browser, vite but for backend dev haha
I wonder if it recompiles as fast when the project is massive 🤔

13:16 a question. If we are using Client Credentials flow, should we put the same filter or ti will be something like

I don’t get why people hate Spring Security. Whenever I learn a new language, I wish it had something close to Spring Security.

[alzamer]

at 27:47 he said to pretend that there is no existing solution and built a custom one. so, is there any existing solution?

[davidtheprogrammer]

It's simple if you get it and it's not if you don't. This security model is really not beginner friendly. These are a lot of concepts

[marcux]

spring security configuration.. shudder

[tashi]

the whole thing is kinda overcomplicated and keep carrying the decades old baggages.

[samuelvishesh]

What about the Reactive web stack? We don’t have a “filter” there right?
