SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Secure authentication between a Next.js frontend and a FastAPI backend using Better Auth and JWT verification to ensure scalable, safe user sessions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Better Auth integration for frontend and JWT-based verification middleware for the backend, enforcing per-user data isolation.
  • End-to-end authentication workflow including session management, token handling, and environment configuration for secure deployment.
  • Use Case: Build a multi-user application where each user can only access their own tasks and data, with seamless sign-in/sign-out experiences.

Quick Start

Configure secrets, install dependencies, and wire up frontend and backend authentication layers as described.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement secure JWT authentication between a Next.js frontend and FastAPI backend?▼

To implement secure JWT authentication between Next.js and FastAPI, use Better Auth on the frontend for session management and JWT verification middleware on the backend to enforce per-user data isolation. This workflow ensures scalable and safe user sessions across multi-user applications.

Can I use Better Auth to enforce per-user data isolation in a multi-user app?▼

Yes, Better Auth supports per-user data isolation in multi-user apps by managing frontend sessions, while the FastAPI backend verifies JWTs to ensure users can only access their own tasks and data. This prevents unauthorized cross-user access.

What is the best way to handle session management and token verification for a Next.js and FastAPI stack?▼

The best way to handle session management and token verification for a Next.js and FastAPI stack is using Better Auth for frontend session integration paired with JWT-based verification middleware on the backend, applying production-ready security best practices and environment configuration.

Does a JWT-based verification workflow work with Better Auth for Next.js?▼

Yes, a JWT-based verification workflow works with Better Auth for Next.js by handling seamless sign-in and sign-out experiences on the frontend, while passing secure tokens to FastAPI middleware for backend validation and protecting user-specific data.

Why does my FastAPI backend need JWT verification if Better Auth handles the Next.js frontend?▼

Your FastAPI backend needs JWT verification because Better Auth secures the Next.js frontend sessions, but the backend must independently validate tokens to enforce per-user data isolation and ensure scalable, safe user sessions against unauthorized API requests.
