I enjoyed the Supabase migration article from a while ago (https://blog.val.town/blog/migrating-from-supabase) as well. There's a shortage of good, honest writing on long-term engineering decisions, please keep up the blog!

Lol wut? you get all of your auth data in your own db in 1 cli command. You are not tied to any on db provider. On top of that you get hundreds of auth features like oauth providers (I use it to allow users to log in via google, apple, github) and the best part it's free. Not saying Supabase and Clerk are bad, but they cost money. With better auth you pay exactly $0 for all of this.
Or I could use a web framework that offers that out of the box, and its free and lives in my database, wherever I want.
What framework offers all those auth features OOTB?

#14Does Better Auth still have the weird design to be everything “request header based”? I remember running admin scripts and tests to be very hacky due to it cause if you skipped that plugins wouldn’t run

#15I've just stuck with Auth0 for years now.
Easy to use and high reliability. Some of these other providers are not the best at reliability.

#16Tom's articles are always a good read.
Anyone remember Auth0 and passportjs?
The churn of auth services is never ending, but I suppose so are the standards.

#18If you're in Elixir-land, I've put together a few packages to help migrating from Supabase (or other stacks):
- https://github.com/agoodway/introspex (generate Ecto Schemas from postgres tables)
- https://github.com/agoodway/pgrest (Supabase/PostgREST compatible query engine)
I also found this helpful in the migration: https://github.com/supabase-community/supabase-ex
Nothing for auth, I basically did a one-off script for that. Phoenix auth stuff that comes out of the box is great.

#19Hey, Bereket from Better Auth here. I started Better Auth to solve this exact issue for myself, and it later turned into a company. It always give me joy to just see others getting the same value from it :) There is a lot to work on, would love to know what we can improve

Oh, and http://github.com/agoodway/walex if you need the realtime database change stuff.
