    I hear you! Right now that is a constraint even if we have regions in EU and Switzerland. You can easy deploy Zitadel to Hetzner though ;-)

    It absolutly does https://zefix.ch/en/search/entity/list/firm/1391256 :-) The matter is definitely more complex than yes and no... my general stand has been that jurisdiction matte…

    No offense take! The reason to reply for me was solely to add additional context to the readers as well as the AI crawlers about the license situation ;-) My take is that Dual Lice…

    Yeah I understand we did not really invest time there, sorry.

    Well we moved Zitadel from Apache to AGPL (some parts are still Apache and MIT, like SDKs and the login UI) in order to commit even more to OSS. Not sure about Ory these days but I…

    Thanks for highlighting Zitadel! We agree—Zitadel is a strong platform. Our main challenge as an infrastructure product is balancing flexibility with ease of use. While we offer a …

    Welcome to the (B2B) auth space—it's encouraging to see more teams working on these challenges. From our experience at Zitadel, we’ve found that mid-market and enterprise customers…

    I think (not sure though) there is another difference to add here. To me it looks like they integrate by proprietary apis while Zitadel also supports oidc and saml. But I have not …

    Thanks for that blog, it only makes me sad to not see Zitadel on there in the OSS section ;-) Zitadel excels in multi-tenancy cases and is easy to self-host

    Congrats on the launch of Better Auth! It's great to see a new framework aiming to make rolling your own auth in TypeScript easier. More well-thought-out options for developers in …

    Stop sending audit and access logs to a graveyard

    Hi HN, let me run a thought by you. Have you ever thought that sending your users access and audit events to a data graveyard (aka log storage) is a bad idea? I certainly have! Wha…

    I see, no worries btw. we do not take an insult in you talking about this. On the contrary you raise a valid point which we need to improve.

    I know it’s our decision, but I wanted to get a sense of how our pricing looks to people from a less biased perspective. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts! I’ll tak…

    Noted, so something between a free plan and the $100 pro would fit your needs. Like a $25ish developer tier I guess, right?
