Challenge
Create a biometric verification experience that feels immediate to the user while securely handling image uploads, asynchronous verification, and state tracking in a cloud-native architecture.
Create a biometric verification experience that feels immediate to the user while securely handling image uploads, asynchronous verification, and state tracking in a cloud-native architecture.
Use a two-stage upload flow with short-lived signed session tokens, then run face comparison asynchronously in a worker to keep API response times fast and predictable.
Guardrails include API throttling, WAF rate limiting, strict CORS, token validation, and managed secrets. Legacy static token fallback remains optional and off by default.
Users see clear verification states (pending, verified, rejected, timeout), while the backend maintains durable status history and similarity scores for downstream audit and automation.
