I have a question, although it's not about this product in particular.
I started building web apps before Auth0, Okta and friends arrived on the scene so I never considered until recently having someone else manage my authentication concerns. Identity is very important in most web applications so I was wondering what value a CTO gets from allowing someone else to manage it.
For example, I would be concerned about prices suddenly being increased or what happens if the business we relied on failed, lost accreditations, or suffered a serious security incident. Presumably there isn't a migration workflow away from these products, save for asking your customers to perform a manual action.
While clearly these services are very useful and popular, I just can't shake the feeling that it could be a very good way to get started, but a long term strategic mistake.
I was wondering if anyone from Kinde or with experience using these services long-term has any thoughts on this?
