Hi all :wave: I'm exploring Kratos as the Authentication service in our new micro-services platform. We implement a zero-trust policy, so we need to authenticate a request at each service. It seems I could call the `/sessions/whoami` endpoint from the service that is handling a request to authenticate the request. Is this the recommended approach or are there any other suggestions? Thanks a lot :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello. Yep. You found the correct way to implement zero trust architecture using Ory Kratos. You can use either oathkeeper or implement your own solution that makes requests against `/sessions/whoami` endpoint
