• Access and Refresh Tokens:
  • Access Tokens for quick, short-term authentication.
  • Refresh Tokens for renewing access tokens securely.
• User Management:

• Scalable & Stateless:
  • Stateless session management using Spring Security.
• API Documentation:
  • Integrated Swagger UI for easy API exploration.
