Authentication as a Microservice
Tuesday, 3:15 PM EST - SAND DUNE
This talk discusses the progression from a monolithic application, where the application and user data are in the same database, to a microservice architecture, where the application and user data are in separate databases.
It covers the history behind sessions and some of the issues with them. It then builds on this by introducing tokens to manage identity and finally ends with a complete discussion of JSON Web Tokens (JWTs). I cover what JWTs are, how they are used, the benefits and some of the issues with them.
