Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • gotrue

    An SWT based API for managing users and issuing SWT tokens.

  • The advantage of ORY was that it required this somewhat custom frontend (since it's not password based) -- I'm not sure how much easier that would have been with Keycloak (my guess is it would have been harder), and I haven't used Authentik before so I'm not sure.

    Keycloak is definitely more setup and a bit more clunky. I've never deployed Authentik though, I really need to kick the wheels on it and see how it works.

    BTW in the simple auth/login space there is also:

    - Keratin[0]

    - GoTrue[1] (and Supabase's improved version[2])

    - Authelia[3]
