Difficulty in implementing authentication functionality yourself vs using an Identity Provider?
I have a question regarding whether or not I should implement authentication functionality myself or use an identity provider (idP)
such as Firebase
, Cognito
, auth0
, and more for our app. We have a mobile app which interacts with an API, and the API in turn, interacts with a MySQL database. It’s worth noting that we are yet to launch and so we have the freedom of choosing whichever approach.
