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 hands-on lab is the opposite of a “getting started” guide. You will implement custom use-cases from scratch, using Spring Security core classes. You will learn the general architecture, the foundational patterns, how Spring Security is built. Most importantly, you will understand how to use the extension points to add your own, specific behavior.

This goal is to equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to start navigating the complexities of Java deployment to cloud platforms in a safe, secure, and innovative way.

Whether you’re looking to deploy Java applications using traditional JAR files, explore the potential of containerization, venture into serverless architectures, or integrate AI to enhance application capabilities, this workshop will provide you with a solid foundation and practical insights to enhance your deployment strategies. Special emphasis will be placed on not only mastering deployment techniques but also on how to incorporate AI into your Java applications and deliver these advanced solutions in a safe manner.
