Authorization in Microservices Landscape

Overview

This article outlines a high-level design of authentication and authorization options in Azure per a typical SPA use case interacting with multiple microservices. Compares API gateway pattern versus a direct client-to-API communication in microservices environment.

Use Case

A user should be able to request the following information:

1. User profile via Azure Graph API.
2. User documents via SharePoint Online API.
3. Aggregated data from two other internal systems.
