In this chapter, you learned the general difference between monolithic applications and microservices and compared SOA with microservices. You also learned the conceptual architecture of OAuth 2 and how it provides your services with trustworthy client access, and learned about the types of OAuth 2 access tokens and the types of OAuth 2 grant types.
We examined the JWT and their general structure, implemented a resource server and authentication server used to grant access rights to clients in order to access OAuth 2 resources, and implemented a RESTful client to gain access to resources through an OAuth 2 grant flow.
