Good evening, people jan! 🤗
Before we all head into “weekdays closing Friday ceremony :D))” mode, quick heads up on a pretty cool update:

AWS Application Load Balancer now supports JWT verification - which basically means :
🫴 Your ALB can now verify JSON Web Tokens in request headers automatically
🫴 Handles token signatures, expiration times, and claims - zero code changes
🫴 ALB does all that OAuth 2.0 token validation for you now
🫴 Works with Client Credentials Flow and other OAuth 2.0 flows

So just simplify your life - no more writing token validation logic in every service. 😎

Already available in all AWS Regions where ALB runs.

🔗 Full details here , if you want to dig in over the weekend (or you know, maybe just enjoy your weekend instead 😉)

Have a great weekend, everyone! 💙
