Handling auth on server-side?
I'm using React Router v7 (Remix), and I want to authenticate on the server. But it seems like BE doesn't support server-side auth. Is this really so?

This works in a server action: https://www.better-auth.com/docs/concepts/api#error-handling

you can use
auth.apiIf I understand correctly, then you're opting out of all cookie/session management. I don't see any helpers on the api or docs for working with them without building a lot of authentication from scratch.
auth.api works great for server sided auth, however you'll be missing built in rate limiting
This example is not really how to integrate with Remix, but with a react SPA:

Is there a good example anywhere of working on the server with BE?

That's also using client-side methods.
client-side and server-side api's almost same
authClient.updateUser()
auth.api.updateUser()

Ahh, that's what I'm looking for. Thank you.
Is it only rate limiting I'm otherwise missing out on?
i’m 90% sure yes, the rest should be handled no problem
