Greetings,
We are researchers and we are looking for insecure coding patterns and configurations in the microservice architecture repositories. In your repository, we have found instances of default port and HTTP without TLS usage.
According to a recent report default port usages must be avoided: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/most-cyber-attacks-focus-on-just-three-tcp-ports/#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20report%2C%20the,(Hypertext%20Transfer%20Protocol%20Secure). Use of HTTP without TLS/SSL, should be avoided according to CWE. CWE-319: Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information. We also found hard-coded passwords

Fix: #1
I am interested to know if you agree with the findings. Any feedback is appreciated.
