NextAuth has supported delegating your db for years, companies like cal.com, deel.com and many others use that directly (not just for stateless jwt). I don’t really see the difference here, except that we handle more for you. And of course, If you don’t want to delegate your database, you can keep using NextAuth with stateless auth and we plan to add support for that as well.

There are already many companies with lots of users and revenue using Better Auth from simple auth setups to organizations, billing and what not.

If your question is more about whether we should allow database adapters to be written directly by developers (some people ask that) that’s just not realistic at the scale of what we handle. No one is realistically going to write hundreds of queries manually
