The reason okta spent $6.5B Auth0
Hydra feels mature. I think it's their longest-developed product so far. Besides breaking changes during big upgrades(v0 -> v1beta -> v1), everything has been painless:
- It runs anywhere with or without containers
- API makes sense, good SDKs are available in all my used languages
- RAM usage is surprisingly low compared to usage and has been great for resource-constrained environments
- Stateless means horizontal scaling is as easy as `replicas++`
- Sub-millisecond response times for some calls, much faster than our previous setup
With Hydra, I know it's the client's fault when OAuth calls fail and not just a buggy server implementation. This is reinforced in dev mode with great errors like:
- The authorization code has already been used
- The request is missing the response_type parameter
- Parameter "nonce" must be set when using the implicit flow
- Redirect URL "https://example.com/callback" does not match
On the flipside, Oathkeeper is not a mature product and has not yet reached v1. There are breaking changes planned [1]. It lacks support for at least one popular usecase (mine) out of the box [2]. Rules can be hard to create and debug. I wouldn't recommend Oathkeeper in its current state unless you're ready to dive in and fix things yourself. Once configured it sticks with the Ory trend: fast, lean, and stable.
Depending on your usecase, Oathkeeper could be swapped out with any IAP like Pomerium or just with your reverse proxy's auth request support + some small custom shim.
I haven't tried Keto (access control) or Kratos (user management) yet. Kratos is on my todo list.
