API Gateway use case

[cloudcompute]

Hi

There is a use case which is like this:

a. Reproxy receives a request from a user.

b. The request needs to be authenticated first. Reproxy forwards it to an authentication microservice and receives the response in return.

c. If the user is authenticated, Reproxy makes a call to the Authroization microservice/functionality and receives the response.

d. After successful authorization, the request is finally forwarded to the appropriate microservice (route).

Is it possible to achieve this? Can we use OPA engine (authorization) as a plugin?

Thanks
