authgear-sdk-js VS Pulumi

Authgear - Bring Passwordless, OTPs, 2FA, SSO to your apps in minutes. All Front-end included. Free up to 5000 MAUs.

This post will guide you through building a full-stack authentication app with Apache APISIX, Authgear, and OpenID Connect (OIDC). You can find the project's source code on GitHub. For a swift start with the app, simply clone the repository and execute the code sample, following the steps provided in the README.md file.

User sign-ups are a crucial aspect of most web applications, and keeping track of them can provide valuable insights. Getting notified when a new user signs up is not just about knowing the numbers, but also about immediate user engagement. For example, you can send a welcome message or introduce them to special sign-up bonuses or offers as soon as they get authenticated in your system. When it comes to user authentication, Authgear provides an extensive suite of authentication features. What if you want to receive immediate notifications in Slack when a new user signs up?

The implementation of authentication for SPA apps consists of two parts. In the first part, you create an Authgear app, choose a logging method and customize the sign-in UI page(optional). The second part covers the use of Authgear’s Web SDK to trigger authentication flow such as log-in, and log-out.

If you are following this blog series, you should already know the benefits of using Terraform to define and deploy your AWS resources and configuration. Other IaC solutions such as AWS CloudFormation, AWS CDK, and Pulumi work the same way but differs in the programming or configuration language.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is an important part of any true hosting operation in the public cloud. Each of these platforms has their own IaC solution, e.g. AWS CloudFormation. But they also support popular open-source IaC tools like Pulumi or Terraform. A category of tools that also needs to be discussed is API gateways and other app-specific load balancers. There are applications for internal consumption, which can be called microservices if you have a lot of them. And often microservices use advanced networking options such as a service mesh instead of just the native private network offered by a VPC.

funny, to me systemd == no docker, no containers, just a VM.

it's my goto way to keep my programming running and have it be restarted if the vm reboots. I use VMs like "pods". I deploy code directly to the VM and run it there along with other programs. I scale up an scale down with: https://www.pulumi.com/

Pulumi — Modern infrastructure as a code platform that allows you to use familiar programming languages and tools to build, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure.

A move like this may have an impact in other open source projects. Take Pulumi, for instance, people might avoid choosing it now that the Linux Foundation have its own IaC tool, and for newer, smaller projects it will probably be impossible to compete with a project under the Linux name.

Another alternative to writing an operator would be to rely on kustomize or https://www.pulumi.com/.

Pulumi

Would it make sense to say Dagger is to Pulumi [1], as Terraform is to Togomak?

Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Define your infrastructure using code (IaC) to automate the provisioning of resources such as virtual machines, load balancers, and databases. Tools like Terraform, Pulumi, and AWS CloudFormation can help.
