This is awesome. Auth is such a pain and one of the biggest perks of Firebase for me. Could you share more details on why you decided to go with GoTrue? I’m interested in how it stacked up against the alternatives you looked at.



We checked out a lot of tools and built POC's with Kratos and KeyCloak

Kratos was very promising but too new/unstable.

We spent a lot of time with KeyCloak, but it had some very heavy server requirements. We want to be able to release Supabase as a single docker image and it would have been too difficult with KeyCloak.

We chose GoTrue because it's fairly stable and feature rich, and backed by Netlify so it's well supported. They didn't have PG support, so we had to fork it, but otherwise it's been great.
