An Introduction to Devise for Ruby on Rails
Devise is an authentication library built on top of Warden, a Rack-based authentication framework.

A First Look at Hanami 2 for Ruby
In general, even though the Hanami ecosystem lacks any "plug-and-play" solutions such as Devise, you can use many existing libraries not tightly coupled to Ruby on Rails. For authentication, you can use Warden, OmniAuth or Rodauth. For uploads there is Shrine. The pagination is built into ROM. Integration with exception catchers such as Rollbar is easy.

Time to think about swapping off Devise?
There hasn't been a lot that has changed to how sessions are managed. Warden itself hasn't had much by way of updates in years, but you didn't even mention that.

Which authentication gems to use aside from devise?
Do you use system tests in authlogic? Devise (or more precisely, Warden) has has a helper that sets the user on next request.

Recommended Auth gem for Jr-level developers?
Devise is probably the most popular option out there. If you're learning to apply your skills in the wild then I'd recommend Devise. In my opinion, there's a learning curve, especially if you want to customize it more. You can also learn the underlying Ruby gem called warden.

What's going on with Devise for Rails 7 ?!
Warden perhaps? It's the actual authentication part Devise uses.
-
Devise only allow one session per user at the same time
Despite this approach works, it's polluting the controller with authentication logic. Given that Devise uses Warden under the hood, the same can be achieved by taking advantage of warden callbacks that will always get executed when a meaningful event is triggered.

Best way for user auth with a Rails API?
ruby-jwt is fairly easy to use on it's own without Devise. You might try that first and only add Devise if needed.

Dynamic JWT authentication and secrets rotation in Rails Applications
Generally speaking, the larger the application, the more internal and external services it has to talk to. External services usually have their own way of authenticating and authorizing third party API calls. With internal systems however, organisations prefer to use JWT tokens because of their inherent flexibility and versatility. A sample JWT based handshake between 2 rails applications using ruby-jwt would look like this -
