Ask HN: API Key Authentication System Inspiration

Does anyone know how DataDog or Stripe implemented their API Key system for authentication? Curious how they store the key to scope relationship for lowest latency.

In-memory databases like Redis might be used to cache the key-to-scope relationship. However, the specifics of this implementation could be confidential.
