(I work at WorkOS.) This comment pretty much exactly describes why we're building WorkOS. Developing enterprise features yourself in-house is super time consuming and ends up being a huge drag on product development. We essentially want to provide "Stripe for enterprise features" so developers don't need to do this repeated work. It's a surprisingly complex problem. We've been working on it for over 3 years[0] and still have a ton more work to do. This is not something you can hack together in a few months or solve with an open source package. Thankfully we are really well funded[1] with a long runway and hundreds of customers. It also doesn't stop with SSO and SCIM. You end up needing of other stuff including authorization, permissions, encryption, compliance, and audit logs (which incidentally we launched today[2]).

Will see if we can get the StackOverflow editorial team to make it more clear. We just wanted to use our marketing budget to ship something genuinely useful. ;))
