Authentication plays a critical role in microservices—it’s tough to get right and costly to get wrong. But those challenges can also be an asset.
In this session we’ll:
- Explore the nuances of Monolith vs Microservice Authentication.
- Highlight the need for an iterative authentication strategy to ensure secure interactions between services, resources, and users.
- Discuss a range of authentication mechanisms, their tradeoffs, and the role of an API Gateway.
- Cover the practical implementation of popular authentication techniques like SSO, JWT, and OAuth in a microservices application.
You’ll leave this session with a more comprehensive understanding of authentication in microservices and the tools you need to build your own authentication strategy.
