Best practices for using msal-node and microsoft graph APIs in a serverless environment?

Question

I am running a NextJS serverless application.

I am using msal-node to acquire a token, which is then passed to the microsoft graph client ( @microsoft/microsoft-graph-client ) like this tutorial here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/tutorials/node?tutorial-step=3

However in that example the local token cache is used to find the account and acquireTokenSilent is used which is supposed to transparently handle token refresh

In a serverless application where it may be restarted at any time, what is the correct way to store, retrieve, and pass tokens to the graph client?

Thanks

Hi @Patrick Brown , Thanks for reaching out you can use refresh token if your access tokens have expired.

Please refer the this refresh-tokens

Hope this helps.
