Token-based Authentication

Auth Strategy · Open Pattern

We favor token-based auth (short-lived access tokens with refresh rotation) for stateless scaling across serverless and edge environments.

Our implementations emphasize secure storage, rotation, and scoping with least-privilege principles.

How We Use It

  • Stateless authentication for serverless apps
  • Secure API access with refresh token rotation
  • Cross-service authentication in microservices

Auth & Security

Why this matters: Security is trust—modern auth and session practices protect users and keep compliance teams comfortable. Security is foundational. We standardize on modern auth, strong session management, and defense-in-depth controls to protect users and systems. Preferred defaults: BetterAuth for app auth, token-based sessions with rotation, 2FA (TOTP + WebAuthn), Arcjet for edge protection.
