@mraible What about GraphQL APIs? Why GraphQL? Does your favorite framework support GraphQL? Micronaut https://micronaut-projects.github.io/micronaut-graphql/latest/guide Quarkus https://quarkus.io/guides/smallrye-graphql Spring Boot https://spring.io/projects/spring-graphql Helidon https://helidon.io/docs/v3/#/mp/graphql

@mraible Secure your API with OAuth 2.1 https://aaronparecki.com/2019/12/12/21/its-time-for-oauth-2-dot-1

Slide 53

Slide 53 text

@mraible Secure your API with OAuth 2.1 https://oauth.net/2.1 PKCE is required for all clients using the authorization code flow Redirect URIs must be compared using exact string matching The Implicit grant is omitted from this specification The Resource Owner Password Credentials grant is omitted from this specification Bearer token usage omits the use of bearer tokens in the query string of URIs Refresh tokens for public clients must either be sender-constrained or one-time use

Slide 54

@mraible Authenticate with OpenID Connect (OIDC) What is OpenID Connect? Does your favorite framework support OIDC authentication? Micronaut https://guides.micronaut.io/latest/micronaut-oauth2-auth0.html Quarkus https://quarkus.io/guides/security-openid-connect-web-authentication Spring Boot https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/reference/servlet/oauth2/login Helidon https://helidon.io/docs/v3/#/mp/security/providers#OIDC-Provider

@mraible 🏆 Quarkus provides the best DevEx, startup time, and memory usage 🚀 Micronaut is the easiest to use; startup time increased recently 🌱 Spring Boot has the strongest community, ecosystem, and growth 🔮 Helidon still has some catching up to do ⚡ Spring Boot 3 not as fast as expected My Thoughts
