The purpose of this project is to implement an authentication service for an online cinema. For this purpose, authentication and role management APIs have been developed based on the Flask framework. A relational database PostgreSQL is used for storing user data and login history. User authentication is done using JWT tokens, and Redis is used to store invalid access tokens. The application also features social login (OAuth protocol), distributed tracing for monitoring (Jaeger program), and rate limiting to prevent excessive server load. The project is launched through a proxy server NGINX, which serves as the entry point for the web application. API endpoints are covered by tests using the pytest library.
