The invention provides a user request processing method and device, and the method comprises the steps: carrying out the verification of a user permission through a micro-service gateway based on the interface permission information of a target service interface for processing a user request during the verification of the user permission, and forwarding the user request to a target service interface of a target micro-service after the verification is passed, and the target micro-service processes the user request without verifying the user permission. Therefore, when the micro-service is called in a chained manner, the micro-service gateway only needs to verify the user permission once, and each micro-service does not need to verify the user permission any more, so that the verification mode is simplified, and the verification efficiency is improved. Furthermore, according to the invention, the micro-service does not need to perform user permission verification, so that the programming workload during micro-service writing can be reduced, and the micro-service programming efficiency can be improved.
