Resolving JWT Verification Failures in Distributed Microservices Handling JWKS Cache Misses

In decentralized full-stack architectures, securing authentication across independent microservices requires moving away from stateful session validation. Modern enterprise systems rely heavily on stateless JSON Web Tokens (JWT) signed with asymmetric encryption algorithms like RS256. Under this paradigm, a centralized Identity Provider (IdP) holds the private key to sign tokens, while distributed downstream microservices fetch corresponding…
