Designing a Distributed Authorization Server Architecture
In the modern era of cloud-native applications and microservices architectures, the need for scalable, secure, and efficient authorization systems has never been greater. An Authorization Server (AS) plays a critical role in enforcing access control policies, issuing tokens, and managing user sessions. However, as the scale of applications grows, the traditional monolithic approach to building an Authorization Server becomes a bottleneck. This is where a distributed architecture comes into play, enabling high availability, scalability, and fault tolerance. ...
