NextAuth works great with Nextjs (if you're using Next) with the advantage that you own the auth system + the client information

There's a remix-auth library you could check out, haven't personally used it
haha remix auth is inspired by passportjs
thanks, so I think I was having a brain fart about this. So tell me if Im wrong:
I can just use 3rd party apps for authentication, and then if a user passes authentication from, say Google, I can just see if they exists in my DB, and then move them along correct?
Then I wouldnt have to pay for any auth service at all?
Is three anything wrong with that? Does this ever become an issue at scale? I shouldnt need to implement real authorization like putting user in roles/groups or anything like that for a while if ever.
Even tho im not using NextAuth, im still curious what you mean by "owning the auth system & client information". Ive heard Theo say it plenty, but not sure how you can own it if you're relying on a 3rd party to handle your auth.
NextAuth isn't a third party SaaS (AaaS 🤡) like something such as Auth0, it's a open source package you can use to implement authentication. If you're referring to the "sign in with google", that's just OAuth and you still own the data you put in your db, you're just using that service to provide account data and authorization flow so you don't have to.
Right, right 3rd party was def the incorrect term. All makes sense now, thanks all!
👍 gl with your project!
