ran

Description: Authentication service for machine to machine credentials. Implements the client credentials grant flow of Oauth2 spec.

• s2s jwt mint.
• source of truth for machine credentials and registry.
• source of truth for scopes simply because the table existed in this service first.
• utilizes my carapace project for core microservice functionality.

Name: Rán (燃) is the name of one of two twin dragons in Avatar: The Last Airbender. This service's authentication counterpart is the Shaw (shāo 燒) user service which handles human credentials

• Ran (燃) means "burn" or "ignite" in Mandarin, and since all services need to get service credentials before taking any other action, the ignite side of the dragon pair seemed appropriate.
