CEO Fireside: MongoDB Realm JWT Authentication

Are you working in MongoDB Realm...or considering it? Never heard of Cosync? No worries!

Cosync is an extensible pre architected middleware for building applications that entail synchronous user interfaces, messaging, and shared assets on top of MongoDB Realm.

If you're like most programmers, you're not too happy with the time it takes to build collaborative apps: the collaborative aspect comprises 50% or more of developing time (40% of mobile apps take longer than six months!) We're in the business of rapidly accelerating the time to development of social collaborative apps: we're your bridge over the cumbersome coding minutiae.

As a preview, our CEO is going to show off Cosync JWT, launched in April 2020. So if you're working in MongoDB Realm and looking for a JSON Web Token, look no further!

We will discuss JWT Authentication for mobile app development on MongoDB Realm with a preview of the Cosync JWT provider service. We'll walk through how to set up your network and schema and get started with a collaborative app that's customizable in no time flat.

Agenda:

• 7pm Introductions and announcements
• 720pm Richard Krueger teaches JWT
• 740pm Q&A
