Existing Userbase from Clerk -> Better Auth
Are there any articles or help regarding moving from clerk with 20k+ Users to better auth?
Including all their passwords etc.
What are in general best practises?

I don't think there is any articles to help as of yet to my knowledge.
A tip I can give you for migrating is to look into our other migration guides, and see how that's done.
Keep in mind to use our hashing utilities to hash things like passwords.
Okay thanks for the answer. It would be a good idea though to provide as many migration guides as possible of course in the future
Does a guide exist showing different encryption/hashing utilities?
I have full clear data with passwords and hashes
@Luis curious to reason behind leaving clerk. cost, feature?
im actually contemplating using clerk for live and betterauth for self host đŸ˜†
We have now almost 20k users and hit without any marketing 5k new users every month.
Their paid plan is expensive as hell, like 2ct per user??
And we also move to b2b to universities and there we need advanced roles for organizations.
Clerk is nice to start, but for scale (b2c) scale it’s useless
They want to lock you in but that’s why I want you to move now before we have 100k+ users
That’s why migration guides from those really nice auth provides which are bad at scale is sooo important.
You get here at better auth directly high value customers then. Because for small apps clerk is still better
@Snazzie .
And lastly gdpr and server speed. No user data in USA. For universities in Germany that’s must have to host your user data in Germany (and to have control over it and no 3rd party)
makes sense!
