Authentication

• Only Google authentication is supported at this time.

  • This means any user who logs in to the Dev Launchers app must also have a Google account.

  • Credentials and secrets are managed in Google, and stored as environment variables in k8

• Once a user passes Google authentication, the backend (Strapi) returns a token to the frontend which is then stored as a cookie and used in all subsequent requests by the agent

• Once a user is authenticated, we store their data within our UserDataContext

  • This is located at /packages/UI/src/context/UserDataContext.js

• After the user is authenticated, they are directed to /users/me webpage, which displays their profile information
