Microservice architectures are great, but as your application programming interfaces (APIs) start to grow, so do the challenges related to their maintenance.

For example, as an existing API matures and adds new features it will need to take its clients along with it on the journey. When the details of an API change, clients need to adjust in order to work with these changes.

Background

Today, Jonathan Leitschuh published a blog titled Want to take over the Java ecosystem? All you need is a MITM!. The blog demonstrates that hundreds of Java libraries are downloading dependencies over HTTP. This opens the projects up to potential MITM (man in the middle) attacks.
