With the recent announcement of OpenIddict 6 and AWS Aurora Serverless v2's new scaling to zero capability, we have a perfect opportunity to build a cost-effective, serverless OAuth2/OpenID Connect server.

This setup will leverage AWS Lambda for compute and Aurora v2 PostgreSQL for storage, providing enterprise-grade security and scalability while maintaining optimal cost efficiency and only incurring cost when actually in use.

OpenIddict Serverless with Aurora v2 Architecture

Let's start by creating a new solution for our OAuth2/OIDC server.

After succesfully running ASP.NET 8 Minimal API with Lambda Container image it's time to run something real.

Officially OpenIddict supports two implementations for persistance layer:

This time we will explore how to implement fully serverless OAuth2 server using OpenIddict 5 with Lambda Container image and persistance layer backed by AWS DynamoDB

note

Due to the large scope this will be series of posts covering the following aspects:

  • OpenIddict custom stores implementation with DynamoDB
  • Fully serverless OAuth2 server sample and setup for local testing
  • CDK custom component lib for OpenIddict
  • Cost analysis and comparison with Cognito, Auth0, etc

You can find source code available at https://github.com/ahanoff/OpenIddict.DynamoDb

First let's review OpenIddict concepts and components.
