WorkOS
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.
Not that it's a super professional solution or anything, but snapraid(https://www.snapraid.it/) is available in Brew (package manager on osx). Which would allow for a Raid5 esque setup, with the advantage that not all drives need to spin when reading files. Researched this the other day for my own PI NAS. You could just buy some external Hdds and a 10Gbit usb hub lol, maybe get a beefy 12V power supply and a few barrel connector to bundle them to one power outlet. Usb wiring will be a mess probably. Power wise those M1s are really nice. Other option would be to get a older multi bay NAS, enable ISCSI and manage the services on the macmini.
