The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
While I don't have much experience with it directly, I do know that Google's protobuf was designed with minimal footprint capabilities in mind. While it might not work out-the-box for embedded systems, it looks like there is a well maintained open source library NanoPB that "is a small code-size Protocol Buffers implementation in ansi C. It is especially suitable for use in microcontrollers, but fits any memory restricted system." And for added reassurance, it looks like Chromium has a dependency on NanoPB.
