NextAuth Js as API Gateway

[reachkrishnaraj]

Hello network, Needing an expertise feedback here.

Goal is to have a flexible, high performant, versatile, widely adopted authentication service for integrating with API gateway.

I can across https://next-auth.js.org/ . Its simple, and powerful, supports wide number of SSO providers including Cognito. But its designed for apps/clients based on Next.js.

However, the v4 has REST endpoints: https://lnkd.in/dtd7jE8W.

I am thinking to host this with required modification backed with an OAuth provider like cognito as side-car for my API gateway to authenticate users for protected resources. I have multiple µservices which uses same user authenticate pool. NextJS Auth covers many OAuth2 providers, hence motivated for this workaround.

Question: Does this approach make sense ? There is also PassportJS, but eventually the approach would be same. Pls feel free to DM or comment on this post, Thanks a bunch.
