An Auth Microservice using Node.JS, Serverless Framework, AWS Lambda, Mongo.DB, and JWT.

Auth microservice

An example of Auth microservice using Node.js, Serverless framework, and Mongo.DB.

How to deploy?

Make sure serverless framework is installed:

  yarn global add serverless

Install dependencies:

  yarn install

Configure .env with JWT Secret and MongoDB URI (you can use MongoDB Atlas):

MONGODB_URI=<MY_URI>
JWT_SECRET=<MY_SECRET>

Configure serverless framework with AWS access key and secret:

  serverless config credentials --provider aws --key <ID> --secret <SECRET> --profile devProfile

Deploy:

  serverless deploy

Notes:

• There are many ways to create protected serverless functions. To see more about serverless auth, read this;
• Mongoose recommendations for Lambda functions: https://mongoosejs.com/docs/lambda.html;
• MongoDB guidelines for Serverless: https://www.mongodb.com/blog/post/serverless-development-with-nodejs-aws-lambda-mongodb-atlas;
• I took as guide this walkthrough to understand and apply authentication in Node.js microservices;

Todo:

• Include customAuthorizer in verifyAuth function (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/apigateway-use-lambda-authorizer.html);
• Verify if user is already registered on sign up;
• Write tests for microservice;
• Write endpoint documentations in README.md;
• Include cors middleware in middy handler.
