Overview
Authentication is an identity platform built with Rust, Axum, and SvelteKit. It supports email verification and Google and GitHub sign-in.
How can one identity platform support several sign-in methods and keep session management coherent?
Implementation
PostgreSQL and Redis support session management, token rotation with reuse detection, and rate limiting. OpenTelemetry provides production observability.
Sign in
Offer email verification and Google and GitHub sign-in through a common interface.
Manage sessions
Use PostgreSQL for identity and session records and Redis for caching and rate limiting.
Observe
Instrument the platform with OpenTelemetry to make service behavior easier to inspect.
Takeaways
Sign-in is one part of the experience. Sessions and service visibility need just as much design attention.
