Let's move to X - Comparing the security of architecture patterns
summary
Compares concrete security tradeoffs when moving from monolith to micro(ish) services, queues, serverless and Kubernetes and shows where risk actually shifts not vanishes: monoliths give a small, high‑impact blast radius and many persistent secrets, microservices add SSRF and amplification risks but enable scoped credentials, event buses expose data confidentiality if topics are public, serverless risks include denial of wallet from unbounded scaling, Kubernetes benefits from immutability and admission controllers and needs mutual TLS and pod isolation.
