Backend Development

Security & Access Control

Role in the Project

Manages authentication, authorization, and user role assignments.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths:

  • Centralized authentication (OAuth2, JWT, SAML support)
  • Fine-grained access control via RBAC

Weaknesses:

  • Self-hosted Keycloak requires more maintenance than managed services
  • Session scaling for high-traffic deployments needs additional tuning

Available Technologies & Comparison

  • Auth0: Managed, easy setup, but costs scale with users.
  • Keycloak: Self-hosted, customizable, but requires DevOps management.
  • Firebase Auth: Simple but lacks enterprise-level RBAC.

Chosen Approach

  • Keycloak for its flexibility and open-source nature, integrated with OAuth2 and JWT for token-based authentication.
