Global Services Firm: Secure Microservice Communication at Scale

Moving from in-house infrastructure to three different cloud providers meant thousands of services suddenly needed a secure way to talk to each other, without manual work slowing every step down.

Client

A leading global, highly regulated services company headquartered in the USA.

Challenge

The client was moving its infrastructure from in-house systems to cloud platforms across AWS, GCP, and Azure. That meant many different services needed to communicate securely with each other at scale, without relying on manual processes that would introduce delay and human error as the system grew.

Solution

We built a security framework based on Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), giving every service a way to prove its identity and communicate securely, automatically, instead of relying on manual setup. Our team handled implementation, testing, and production deployment end to end, then worked directly alongside the client’s own engineers to integrate the framework into their microservices using current development, reliability, and DevOps practices.

Results

The client now runs a secure, automated framework supporting millions of simultaneous microservices across three cloud providers. Reducing manual processes also cut down on human error and lowered operational costs.

Technical Details

Built a PKI-based security framework using Java and JavaScript, with Spring Boot and WebFlux for service implementation and Terraform for infrastructure automation, deployed across AWS, GCP, and Azure. Running in production since 2021, ongoing.
