Congrats on the latest release! I'm really excited to see this space getting a lot of attention and traction lately. I think it's one of those things that basically every app has to "reinvent" to some extent, and I would love to just be able to spin up a container that handles a lot of this stuff. Especially considering the security implications.
I dug into this space recently and Keycloak is really the best, most full-featured (open source) solution at the moment. But it's a hefty and can be difficult to work with at times (documentation can be lacking and confusing, customizations difficult). It doesn't seem to jive well with a modern containerized stack, either.
Ory and Supertokens are the two open source projects that I've been keeping an eye on and I think are making great progress and will be real viable alternatives to Keycloak soon. Last I checked they weren't _quite_ ready for real production usage (for various reasons, I'll have to revisit my notes), but they both seem to be moving quickly so looking forward to trying them again soon.
