Answer
Use a centralized token generation service and synchronize token verification across nodes.
In a distributed system, managing CSRF tokens requires careful synchronization. A common approach is to use a centralized service for token generation and verification, ensuring consistency across different nodes. This can involve using distributed caches or databases to store and check tokens. In a Java application running on Kubernetes, for instance, a shared Redis cache can be used to maintain token state across multiple instances of a microservice.
