This is an odd misconception I keep seeing about microservice architectures. Typically you have a gateway where requests arrive. The gateway verifies the session and forward the user context that it verified to any other systems it needs to contact.

This is how all the big companies that came up with the notion of microservices like Google and Facebook work.
