Hi everybody! I'm currently assessing Ory Cloud and I'd like to integrate it into our current setup. The system is currently set up as follows: DigitalOcean server running nginx as a reverse proxy to access a load of microservices written in various languages (Golang, Python and Erlang) Most of the microservices run in docker containers and some outside docker with a React frontend. The authentication and authorization is currently done using a homebrewed authentication/authorization server running in two docker containers (One, a Python Flask app and the other a postgres db). We then use JWT's to provide authorization/access to the other microservice api's) We'd like to use Ory Cloud for login/registration and authorization. I've come across various tutorials but I've not come across any for this particular use case. Is what we would like to do feasible? Or would it be better to ignore Ory Cloud and use the Ory docker containers and keep everything on our server? Are there any resources/tutorials I can access to help achieve our goal? In the future we would also like to migrate as much as we can off our digitalOcean server onto AWS or some other managed server env. Thanks in advance

Hey, absolutely possible and less work / faster to get set up with cloud. The only thing we don't have yet is an endpoint to exchange sessions for JWTs, but given your deployment topology Ory Oathkeeper might be a solid option to achieve what you want here

Thanks for the quick reply. So I'd run oathkeeper locally prob in a Docker container and use Ory Cloud (Katos) for the login/regsitration part?

exactly:)
