Not fully open source and run by a tiny startup that last raised funding 3 years ago means it's way too risky to use in a real product. Firebase and Cognito have issues, but for something as mission critical to a product as auth and identity knowing the service won't be killed or acquired is too important.
- advaitruia 3y agoWe've raised money every year in the last 3 years. We just dont update crunchbase. we're being used at scale of millions of monthly active companies by very large companies - which have done deep technical evaluation. If the company dies or gets acquired (possible with companies of almost all stages), the product is actually open source. You can self host it without any permissions and we provide daily database backups
