## What it is
A tutorial series from the Spring guides repository showing how to secure an Angular single page application with Spring Security and Spring Boot. It progresses through multiple backend architectures, from a simple single server to an API gateway with OAuth2 authentication.

## Use cases
- secure an angular spa with spring security
- learn oauth2 login with spring boot backend
- add authentication to a single page application
- set up an api gateway with oauth2 for a spa
- understand session vs token auth in spring
- build a rest api backend for angular with login

## When to choose
- you are building a Spring Boot backend with an Angular frontend and need authentication
- you want a step-by-step walkthrough of Spring Security with SPAs
- you need to learn OAuth2 and API gateway patterns in the Spring ecosystem

## When to avoid
- you use React, Vue, or another frontend framework instead of Angular
- you need production-ready reference code rather than a tutorial
- you want a non-Java backend stack
