Security

Security is a crucial part of building cloud-native apps. We take security so seriously that we are close to being paranoid about it.

Overviewlink

Space Cloud provides powerful and flexible mechanisms to secure your apps/services at both layers:

• Application layer (L7)
• Platform layer (L4)

Application layer security featureslink

• Validating authentication
• Allowing anonymous access to public data
• Granting access conditionally based on the request, auth token claims and any existing data in your app:
• Masking sensitive/private data
• Implementing custom authorization/validation logic

Platform layer security featureslink

• Automatic mTLS between all your services.
• Whitelisting of services (i.e. you can describe which services can talk to each other)
• Storing environment variables and secrets in a secure manner.
• Securing external traffic via Letsencrypt’s SSL certificates.
