There are numeric options to deploy light-oauth2 and sometimes it is overwhelming as there are too many options for the microservices based OAuth 2.0 provider.

The most popular one is to deploy all services to a Kubernetes cluster or Openshift cluster which is almost the same as vanilla Kubernetes.

The light-oauth2 consists of 8 microservices and these services communicate between each other through a Hazelcast distributed cache. All services are working at the cache layer so that it is very easy to abstract the persistence layer to any database. Currently, we only support MySQL, Postgres, Oracle, and SQLServer. And these can be exchanged by configuration. User can extend the persistence layer to support other SQL or No-SQL database. By working at the Data Grid level, we can hide the persistence from the services. Read More »

Light-oauth2 on Kubernetes

This section describes the steps to deploy light-oauth2 microservices to a Kubernetes (public cloud) or Openshift (on-premise) cluster as services. If you want to take a look at the detail configuration, please check out https://github.com/networknt/light-config-test/tree/master/light-oauth2/openshift Several things that need to be addressed in the deployment process. Hazelcast As we are using Hazelcast IMDG to sync between services, we need to make sure that it is working properly in Kubernetes cluster. Read More »
