General Info

Full-stack React,NodeJS Auth SPA which uses Kafka on the backend side for decoupling backend components.

How it works

• The user can either register, login or view User details in the React Web App and the authentication flow is done using JWT tokens with rotation (refresh tokens).
• It uses Redis for in memory data storage of user details.
• The relationship between endpoints and the data store is done using a Kafka Topic (called 'users'), a Producer and a Consumer.
• Producer, Consumer and React-ui have their own Dockerfile and are defined together in docker-compose.
