Hi HN,
I'm building Identety, an open-source Identity Provider implementing OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect. After years of working with identity systems, I've found existing solutions are either too complex, expensive, or inflexible for modern development workflows.
The core functionality will be open source from day one, with a parallel cloud offering (identety.dev) for those who prefer managed hosting.
Tech stack (in progress): ---
- NestJS framework
- PostgreSQL with Drizzle ORM
- OpenAPI/Swagger docs
Core features (all open source): ---
- Full OAuth2/OIDC implementation
- Support for SPA, server, and m2m clients
- Role-based access control
- Type-safe from DB to API
The goal is to democratize access to enterprise-grade identity management. Whether self-hosted or cloud-hosted, organizations will have access to the same robust core features.
