• They take care of the CRUD

Auth0

• Better documentation

Options

AWS Cognito

• Cheaper

• "Drier" / Bleak interface

• Confusing as hell

• You can give individual users IAM roles

• Can be configured with serverless

  • But not all configuration options

Cons:

• You may only be able to log in to one SSO at a time.

  • This is bad if you want to attache one user account to multiple providers
