It's helpful if you want your website/webapp to support login with X (Google, Facebook, etc). Your services on the same domain can than use these credentials and eventually use the respective API's with the per-user key.

All you need to do is: a) get key/secret for the respective service b) deploy this microservice with the respective env variables

This kind of explanation would be really useful on the website. Right now it has nothing to describe what it is/does.

The explanation you replied to didn't say anything I didn't find obvious from the tag line.

Aha. So it protects the service via protecting the domain itself, right?

I'll have to give it a try.
