I left Auth0 on Tuesday and one day later the company triple its value. Never thought I would be such a drag...
You should emphasize this in future negotiations. Companies will be falling over themselves to hire you and then fire you.

What's sadder for our society as a whole is that, despite this comment and the GP comment, this is happening, and will be allowed to happen by regulators who won't give this a second glance. And this sort of multi-billion-dollar absorption of a "better" company by a "worse" company is almost a weekly story. Tech started out as a meritocracy, and a lot of us still operate personally in a meritocratic bubble, but, gene…
> At the very least GitHub is going to get "FOR BUSINESS!" laced all through it. That already happened, but with no negative impact on its public/free side. All we got from it are unlimited private repos, and limited github action minutes and repository storage in the free tier. I call that a win. Also, the GitHub sale was 2.5y ago, if things would have gone wrong, we would have already seen the cracks. Ruby devs aba…

Let's see... it took them, what, ~7yrs to screw Bungie over and take Halo away from them? So, I guess it's still too early to tell WRT Github.

I'm just starting a new side project, and have looked at Keycloak and fusionauth. Fusionauth has a free offering (ie, self hosted), and takes a minute to install and run. I like it a lot and am going forward with it for testing. You won't see a login with fusionauth button, you'll just see a login button on my website, which might give you Google, github,LinkedIn logins etc depending on what I choose.
Depending on what set of features you need, it may make sense to also have a look at SuperTokens.io. Probably not as mature but we're open source and stronger with customization of the end user experience (frontend stuff), support and ease of implemenetation.
FusionAuth also has advanced registration forms and we are working on a lot of really awesome improvements around sign-in and sign-up workflows.
Stay tuned for some major updates in the coming weeks! ;)

https://www.keycloak.org/ is another open source option. Compared to other choices, it's more mature and well-vetted because it forms the upstream for RedHat's SSO offering. On the other hand, it's a big monolithic Java app, but they are making some moves to be more CNF-friendly: https://www.keycloak.org/2020/12/first-keycloak-x-release.ad...
If you are going to use keycloak it's worth making sure their mental model matches your own. Specifically we had issues with our model of multi-tennacy, each in their own realm vs. the keycloak idea of multiple tennants in a single realm. It caused some large performance and management issues.
We're evaluating Keycloak. Would love to get some insights on your experience

#325Tragic. All Auth options are horrible and overpriced. From a presentation I did for a client a year ago for only 10,000 users: Off-the-shelf auth cost comparison • Okta: $20,000 / month • Auth0: $1,500+ / month • These are barebones services - any customization would cost extra • There is still a large implementation code when using these services Auth0 was worth using for midsize companies sometimes. Okta is not.
That doesn't seem to match the pricing on https://www.okta.com/pricing . It's more like $200/mo for the Developer tier, $3,500/mo for the Enterprise tier.
From the page you just linked "SSO List price $2 per user per month"

I did an integration with AWS Cognitio. It can only act as an oauth client, not a server. So it can only let people log in with Google etc, not log in with on other apps
What? You can use Cognito User Pools to sign-up and manage user accounts in-house. That's the core of any identity solution. You can hook up Google, Facebook, etc. as identity providers if you want to give your users a third-party sign-in option. Maybe I'm misunderstanding your use case, so correct me if I got something wrong.
Yes, but you can't use it to allow users of your app to sign into another app or service that you don't own, using yourself as the OAuth provider. No "Sign in with MyApp" on another service/app.
