Filippos is a Team Leader at XM where he juggles multiple teams under the Operations portfolio, and has an active role in IT-wide initiatives. With 10 years of web development experience, he’s dabbled in everything from frontend to backend to DevOps.
He uses Vim for some reason, and he enjoys participating in the occasional coding competition or AWS Game Day. But his most important contribution in XM is actually organizing the company's weekly Ping Pong Tournament.
In our company, we faced the recurring issue of each application implementing its own authentication. To streamline this process and enhance our security control, we decided to centralize the authentication for our internal applications.
This talk will guide you through our journey, showcasing the most intriguing and challenging moments (did you know not all JWTs are the same?). We’ll demonstrate how we leveraged Azure for SSO and integrated AWS API Gateway with a custom Lambda Authorizer for our solution.
We'll also talk about the fun part of convincing every developer in the company to use this one approach!
