It’s just plain hard to get true, real-time visibility into a running auth flow.
Parts of the process can be completely hidden from us; if the complete authorization process requires a redirect from a remote OAuth production server, then every debugging effort must go through the production server.
It’s practically unfeasible to debug this locally. There’s no way to reproduce the exact state and no way to inspect what is actually happening under the hood. Not ideal.
Knowing these types of challenges, we built Lightrun - a real-time production debugging tool - to allow you to understand complicated flows with code-level information. Add logs, take snapshots (virtual breakpoints), and instrument metrics without a remote debugger, without stopping the running service, and, most importantly - in real-time and without side effects.

The Security with Spring tutorials focus, as you'd expect, on Spring Security.
Get started with the Registration series if you're interested in building a registration flow, and understanding some of the frameworks basics.
Then, explore authentication and other Spring Security internals in-depth.
Finally, have a look at some of the more advanced topics, such as the OAuth support.
