I recently published a detailed technical article on Medium about implementing secure authentication in FastAPI using Clerk. The article provides a step-by-step guide to creating protected endpoints and managing user data securely.

Key topics covered in the article:

• Understanding JWT Bearer Token structure
• Setting up secure frontend authentication
• Protecting FastAPI endpoints
• Retrieving and validating user IDs from tokens
• Integrating with Clerk’s user management
• Building a secure user dashboard
