It's not exactly serverless. You're just using their server instead of your own. To make this work you have to give oauth.io your private keys. That said, I love the simplicity of this implementation. OAuth is still way too hard to implement by hand.
- nadiac 13y agoI think they mean serverless here more about the user experience because the user doesn't have to install a server to make it possible. Because there is here as you mentionned Oauth.io server, but also Github server and lots of other servers for fonts/librairies etc... Nothing is technically "serverless" on the web ;)
- splitbrain 13y agoIf I understand it correctly the serverless part means that the whole OAuth process is handled in JavaScript on the client (the user's browser). There is no server-to-server communication.
