Next, use something like https://www.npmjs.com/package/passport, this is authentication middleware, and it works similarly for different authentication providers. Carefully read the documentation. OAuth is complicated, but that's because it solves a complicated problem

Auth.js Authentication for the Web
I went down the rabbithole of using next-auth (now authjs) for a recent project. Having used Passport.js [1] for Oauth2 the last time I was doing node.js ~3 years ago, I found this library to have many footguns as comments/answers on SO and Github.
Seems like many people are trying to shoehorn their codebase [2] (!!) to make it work with the way the library manages sign-in flow, redirects, cookies, logout, etc. [3]
These were solved problems in the MEAN stack era with middlewares, but now that Next.js/react is the trend, people are doing everything they can to make it work - from relaxing security configs, to stashing things in the JWT just so some callback can get an additional piece of data.

NodeJS + Postgres DB + Passport JWT + Passport Local Login and Authentication
Here I am writing my first blog 😇 about how do we connect a simple [NodeJS Application] 😎(https://www.npmjs.com/package/express) to Postgres and use PassportJS for authentication and authorization.

Spotify OAuth2 Authentication in a NestJS Application
As there is no official documentation for integrating this type of authentication with NestJS and development articles usually focus on Google and Facebook integration, this article presents an alternative to integrate the Spotify Authorization Code Flow with NestJS using the Passport authentication middleware along with the passport-spotify strategy.

How to sign out user after a period of time
I use PassportJS to manage authentication strategies and express-session with connect-redis to manage user sessions. What this means is that when a user logs in, their session is created on redis and has an identifier assigned to it which is stored in a an http only cookie on the user s browser with 2w expiry time. If they login again, I extend the expiration date (possible using express-session)

Should you use jest as a testing library?
For example, Fastify removed the instanceof operatorfrom its codebase because it was causing problems for those developers that rely on jest as a testing framework.
- Is this a valid reason to give up node?

Next JS vs Nest JS
Both are frameworks but NextJs is for Forntend (web app in browser that use ReactJs under the hood) and NestJs is for Backend (server app running on a server witch use Express or Fastify). The only thing similar between them is the typed language in which they were written.

Building a modern gRPC-powered microservice using Node.js, Typescript, and Connect
In setting out to build this service, we wanted to use gRPC for its APIs. We’ve been reaching for REST when building APIs so far, primarily out of necessity, i.e., our public APIs needed auto-generated client SDKs and docs for developers working with them. We built those APIs with Fastify and Typebox but felt burned by a code-first approach to generating an OpenAPI spec. I’ll spare you the details and save that experience/learning for another article. Suffice it to say we love gRPC’s schema-first approach. This blog post summarizes our feelings well

Building a Node API with Fastify, esbuild, and Nx
We’ll be using Fastify as the framework of choice. Fastify is a fast (as the name implies) and low-overhead server in Node. It has grown in popularity, recently crossing the 1 million weekly download mark on npm. I’m a fan of Fastify’s plugin architecture, and the ecosystem is quite impressive, boasting over 250 core and community plugins.
