I was talking about rolling you own email/password auth from scratch. I keep hearing about Firebase and how easy it is. Is that like AWS Cognito? Does it have custom branding or is it a drop-in form? Can it be hooked to your own SQL database?
- rubicon33 6y agoIt's far easier than AWS Cognito. Yes, I've used both. Firebase auth is as easy as it gets for auth. Want Username/Pass? Just enable it. Want Google, Twitter, Firebase, Apple, Github, etc.? Just enable it, and write the handlers. Want to hook into your own SQL database? Easy. Set up a firebase listener, that handles the auth event, and write whatever you want (username, auth details) to SQL. This is a 100% solved problem and Firebase does a superb job it it.
- anonytrary 6y agoAwesome, this is great to know. I'll have to consider it for my next side project. Unfortunately I just finished rolling my own, so... :)
