My favourite part is:&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;quot;So the logical thing to do is to implement an authorization service and everybody would be able to use that and keep your precious service boundaries, right? WRONG. Your hell, has just begun!&lt;p&gt;Drawing the right boundary for authorization is near impossible. If I want to check whether the user is allowed to see who left an emoji reaction on a comment response to an issue inside a repository belonging to an organization -- do I store that entire hierarchy in my authorization service? Or do I leave some of that in the application? I&amp;#x27;ve yet to see a good heuristic for the latter.&lt;p&gt;Also, thank you to the author for referencing us :) I&amp;#x27;m Sam, Cofounder&amp;#x2F;CTO at Oso where we&amp;#x27;ve been working on authorization through our open source library for the past couple of years. Authorization for microservices has been a recurrent theme over that time, and we&amp;#x27;ve been furiously writing on the topic (e.g. [1], [2], [3]).&lt;p&gt;We&amp;#x27;d be interested in talking to anyone who is currently facing the challenges of authorization for microservices (or really just multiple services). We&amp;#x27;re building authorization as a service, which you can learn more about here: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.osohq.com&amp;#x2F;oso-cloud&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.osohq.com&amp;#x2F;oso-cloud&lt;/a&gt;. It&amp;#x27;s currently in private beta, but if you would rather _not_ speak with us first, there&amp;#x27;s also a free sandbox to try out the product linked from that page.&lt;p&gt;[1]: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.osohq.com&amp;#x2F;post&amp;#x2F;why-authorization-is-hard&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.osohq.com&amp;#x2F;post&amp;#x2F;why-authorization-is-hard&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[2]: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.osohq.com&amp;#x2F;post&amp;#x2F;microservices-authorization-patterns&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.osohq.com&amp;#x2F;post&amp;#x2F;microservices-authorization-patte...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[3]: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.osohq.com&amp;#x2F;academy&amp;#x2F;microservices-authorization&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.osohq.com&amp;#x2F;academy&amp;#x2F;microservices-authorization&lt;/a&gt;</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Authorization in a Microservices World</title><url>https://www.alexanderlolis.com/authorization-in-a-microservices-world</url></story>
