Congrats on the launch! I'm curious about how this compares to existing Auth microservice solutions like Ory Kratos[0][1]. For the "short-lived tokens" that you mention, is that similar to Ory Kratos used with Ory Oathkeeper[2][3] with JWTs? That's a similar approach that I've seen companies like Uber taking for their microservice Auth. 0: https://www.ory.sh/kratos/ 1: https://github.com/ory/kratos 2: https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/guides/zero-trust-iap-proxy-i... 3: https://github.com/ory/oathkeeper
