CEO of FusionAuth.io

I am a Technology Entrepreneur with a software development background. Currently, I am focused on solving the technology issues that many companies face for login, registration, and user management. My team and I built FusionAuth: A modern customer identity and access management (CIAM) platform that comes with features not seen in the marketplace today. It allows companies to focus on their core product not the plumbing of identity and user management.

Presentations

Auth as a Microservice

9:00 AM MDT

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) and OpenID Connect. I cover JWTs, how we use OpenID Connect, and the benefits and drawbacks of these systems.
