Study Notes
Middleware Use Cases for Software Developers
- Configure and control connections and integrations: Middleware can customize back-end responses based on client requests (e.g., sorting product search results by store location).
- Safeguard connections and data transfer: Middleware securely connects front-end applications to back-end data sources using protocols like TSL. It authenticates requests (e.g., username/password or certificates).
- Manage traffic across distributed systems: Middleware can handle traffic spikes by distributing requests across multiple servers/clients, preventing issues when multiple users access the same data source.
- Optimize existing applications: Middleware modernizes legacy applications, converting them to cloud-based microservices.
- Reduce manual tasks: Automation of IT tasks improves efficiency.
- Support DevSecOps: Middleware supports development, security, and operations methodologies, speeding up application development while also reducing security risks.
