Phase 22 · Build Backend Portfolio Projects
ProjectsAuthentication Microservice
Part of the Backend Developer Roadmap.
Summary
A dedicated, reusable auth service — signup, login, tokens, password reset — that other services in a larger system could call, practicing service boundaries and security end-to-end.
How to Learn This
- 1Expose signup, login, token refresh and password reset as clean, documented endpoints.
- 2Design it to be consumed by other services — issue JWTs other APIs can verify independently.
- 3Add rate limiting and account lockout on the login endpoint specifically.
