Background and Cron Jobs

colllin

Goal

• use Auth0 for logins
• retrieve a Fauna instance secret for the user (see Fauna's ABAC tutorial)
• have the user’s device talk directly to Fauna's native graphql endpoint using their secret for authorization.

Solutions

At the very least, we need two pieces of functionality:

1. Create a user document in Fauna to represent each Auth0 user.
2. Exchange an Auth0 JWT for a FaunaDB user secret.
