User Authentication: Look ma, no servers!

Daniel Loureiro

Jumia is an ecosystem of nine different companies operating in 22 different countries in Africa. Jumia employs 3000 people and serves 15 million users/month.
A initiative was started to centralize authentication for all Jumia users in all countries for all companies.
Let me take you on a journey on how we accomplished that by designing a serverless architecture on Amazon Web Services with security compliances in mind.
