Any thoughts on Auth0?

- 2mol 6y agoLove it, used it, mildly dislike the pricing. But generally I'm of the opinion that auth tightly integrated into the platform has a lot of advantages. My dream is to avoid (almost) all glue between my components, I think Firebase became successful in big part because of that.
- tluyben2 6y agoI saw this passing by a lot of times, but either I misunderstand the pricing or it is indeed 'enterprise' pricing. Because even small sites I launched have easily 10s of 1000s of users and some have had millions => I cannot see this pricing work at all on any of those without me closing the doors (having margins that are just too small or just making losses) vs making a really good living.
- nick-garfield 6y agoI agree with this. I think Auth0 at one point was building tools for indie devs, but are now focused mostly on enterprises. What have you used instead of Auth0?
- tluyben2 6y agoWe have a microservice for this which we use. It's internal and was extracted from systems/practices that grew over years. Basically it works like Auth0 many of the bells and whistles, but it's just a service in our network. And, probably not a surprise, TCO (cost of running/maintaining it) is a rounding error (few $100/month) for millions of users.
- cwhiz 6y agoI have found Cognito to be a similar enough, if not more quirky, offering, but at a fraction of the cost. Auth0 is just too expensive.
