   SuperTokens is reliable and safe

   The best part about this library is the level of security it provides with session management. Implementing the library was also easy through the document they provide and with the extensive support on discord channel. They also provided a lot of features compared to the previous library which I was using.

   🏁 Competitors: Auth0, Firebase, Amazon Cognito

   👍 Pros:    Jwt blacklisting|Rotating jwt signing key|Malware protection|Man in the middle attack protection

   👎 Cons:    Automatic email alerts for high resource usage

   SuperTokens! Best app for Session Security

   I used it with MongoDB and Nodejs. It was very robust and took care of all my security issues. It's super easy to implement like it took me somewhere around 2 to 3 days to implement also while installing it doesn't force or restrict you from doing something a certain way. The documentation provided by SuperTokens is phenomenal too.

   🏁 Competitors: ExpressJS

   👍 Pros:    Session security|Session management|Data protection and security|Simple pricing|Super simple|Easy to use|Information is easily accessible

   👎 Cons:    Not enough intergration yet

• My Past 1 Year+ with AWS Cognito

  I’ve heard some people complain about AWS Cognito’s complexity, but I’ve had the opposite experience. I’ve never done on-boarding before, and every project I’ve ever been on, or near, on-boarding was always a horror show, both in UI, ability to debug, and stability. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• Solo SaaS - How I Built a Serverless Workout App By Myself

  The app uses Amazon Cognito to authenticate users via Google. This was probably the hardest part of the entire project - setting up and configuring the resources necessary to get a Cognito user pool wired up to Google. I kept the Cognito resources in a SAM template separate from the user interface to allow me to iterate on the back-end and UI separately. - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago
