If everything is going to be TypeScript, you could actually write your various microservices using tRPC+Express

Use NextAuth as a microservice
So an idea for the architecture could be that you still use Next.js+Tailwind+tRPC for the frontend and API service, and then oauth2-proxy for the auth, but then instead of then connecting that API service directly to a DB, you can then create an assortment of microservices behind that

Use NextAuth as a microservice
You might still be able to get away with using Next.js, TailwindCSS and even tRPC. Using a microservice architecture might also change the way you store your data, which could make Prisma unusable

Use NextAuth as a microservice
Why would t3 be overkill? It's probably best suited for school projects and prototypes because of the fast iteration times it enables. A microservice architecture is what is probably overkill, but if it's mandatory...

Use NextAuth as a microservice
The short answer is that the purpose of NextAuth is to run as part of your application, and not as a separate service. If you want to run authentication on a separate service, oauth2-proxy[1] is what you'll want to use. The T3 stack is not really designed around microservices.

May I ask why you wanted to use a microservice architecture?
