Ask HN: Authentication Service or Library
If you are building a new project from scratch, especiallymicroservice-based, what authentication service or library will you use or recommend to use? And what are their advantages and disadvantages, especially disadvantages?
- tony-allan 6y agoAuthentication for serious projects must be battle tested and supported by a great well funded team. I prefer a service over library because it is easier to constantly upgrade a service behind the scenes without having to update your own application dependancies. To a large extent it depends on your environment. For example, for an AWS based app, I would Cognito.
