A system provides cloud-based identity and access management. The system receives a request from a client for a resource, authenticates the request, and accesses a microservice based on the request. The system determines, by the microservice, whether the resource is cached in a near cache or in a remote cache, retrieves the resource from the near cache or from the remote cache when the resource is cached, and calls an administration microservice to obtain the resource when the resource is not cached. The system then provides the resource to the client.
