I'm curious to explore some alternatives for enterprise auth like Clerk, but haven't yet.

However starting from last year, due to the fact that these companies are becoming too dominant and I don’t trust them anymore I started applying a philosophy of avoiding to depend on them as much as possible unless customers explicitly require to use their services, for this reason we opted to always have our own solution and if needed integrate it with 3rd party solutions, this way we are not slave to FAMGE companies and we have full control over our product, it’s a small drop in an ocean but at least I sleep with more inner peace knowing that I am still contributing to the distributed architecture of internet.

Sounds crazy, potentially less secure, and time consuming but still, I prefer this approach.

Microsoft already F** Us by buying GitHub, others by stealing accumulated knowledge of stackoverflow, and forcing everybody to be AI dependent because they poured billions in it… I am not letting it happen again.

I'm the founder and happy to help. We've differentiated by focusing on "b2b auth" via SAML/SCIM, but today we do everything else. We also have products for feature flags, encryption, bot blocking, MCP auth, etc.

Fun fact, we actually launched on HN in 2020 :) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22607402
