In this post I will show how to easily build an external api with authentication with help from Traefik. The usecase is the following: you want to make an external api only authenticated users can access. In this solution the authentication will be a token which clients will supply as an HTTP header. We will leverage Traefik to make the auth server and underlying api services loosely coupled.

It’s really all about caching, which Go modules make refreshingly easy.
