Spring Boot Deployment Security Guide: From Monolith to Cloud‑Native Zero‑Trust Production

This comprehensive guide walks through why simple Spring Security is insufficient for production, outlines eight core security principles, presents a threat model, and provides step‑by‑step recommendations—including authentication, token design, configuration management, input validation, logging, rate limiting, container hardening, Kubernetes policies, service‑mesh mTLS, supply‑chain scanning, and audit—to transform a Spring Boot application into a zero‑trust, production‑grade service.
