I don't understand why is there not more competition / options in the BaaS area. User management is stable, almost boring functionality required by every single product.
- abraham_lincoln 8y agoAny thoughts, folks? Is this a good opportunity?
- shawn 8y agoSure, everything is an opportunity. Make it happen! On the other hand, the traditional wisdom is that a lack of competition isn't a good sign.
- abraham_lincoln 8y agoThat is what I was thinking, no competitors = red flag. Is it really that hard to roll your own and do you really want that being maintained by a 3rd party?
- toddh 8y agoIt's simply too hard to make money. You have very demanding users with infinite resource requirements and finite budgets. There's no margin in it. And there are existing solutions that are satisfactory.
- streblo 8y agoEspecially since GDPR
- pedalpete 8y agoWhen talking about user management, are you referring to StormPath which was bought by Okta? I think it is just that they are the only ones on the list. AuthO is a stand-alone service, but aws (Cognito) and Firebase are also in this space. I'm sure there are more I'm not familiar with.
