NestJS is a powerful framework for building scalable microservices in Node.js
In this Video we are talking about what all different type of Authentication we can do with microservices
Types of Authentication in Microservices

Authentication is a critical aspect of microservices architecture, ensuring that only authorized users can access and interact with your services. Here are some common authentication mechanisms that can be implemented in microservices:

- Token-Based Authentication
- API Keys
- Basic Authentication
- Mutual TLS (mTLS)
- Custom Authentication Mechanisms
- Bearer token Based Authentication

Lets talk about these auth mechanism with nestjs service
- Username password based Authentication
- Session based auth server side
- cookies based auth
- jwt token based auth bearer token
- Oauth based auth implementation

Additional Tips
Centralized authentication: Use a centralized authentication service to manage user identities and credentials.
Rate limiting: Implement rate limiting to prevent abuse and protect your services.
Token revocation: Have a mechanism to revoke tokens if they are compromised.
Regular security audits: Conduct regular security audits to identify and address vulnerabilities.
By carefully considering these factors and selecting the appropriate authentication mechanism, you can ensure the security and integrity of your microservices architecture.
