I’ve looked at these auth providers many times over the years and I just don’t get the value. It takes me a couple of minutes to set up auth. Why would I want a dependency? It doesn’t help me with the hardest part which is configuring Google and Apple sign in stuff on Google and Apple. I just don’t get it.
replythis is sorta the obvious takeaway here. as a postgres/phoenix/elixir enjoyer i am blissfully unaware of all this sort of SaaS churn.
replyI use better auth for a side project i'm working on. It's open source, you can pay them to manage your user/auth tables if you want or you can run it all on your own db.
replySure, I guess if I'm using a web framework that is not quite batteries included, that makes sense, but Django, ASP .NET Core, Ruby on Rails, and so many others are open source and have authentication / users / roles baked in out of the box.
replyWhat framework offers all those auth features OOTB?
replyASP .NET Core, Ruby on Rails, Django, .... the list goes on and on... The ones that don't usually someone built a package that lets it happen.
replyI remember Laravel with Socialite [0]. Laravel is what I usually reach for Web SaaS MVP. You only need a VPS and a managed database for testing out the market and can scale a lot without increasing expenses that much..
replyTake this post down immediately ! /jk
replyLol, I developed for entrepreneurs who mostly wanted a working proof of concept of their ideas. I guess now you can vibecode them with SaaS for core technical needs.
