I do not intend to discourage you from doing this, all the best. But did you check out keycloak or ory.sh before you tried to do this from scratch ?

Hi psankar, we ran across Ory when we were doing our initial "does this exist?" Google search, but haven't actually looked into that project too deeply.

And we'd never heard of Keycloak before, so thanks for pointing them out to us!

Have you ever used or built with either platform? If so, what was your experience like working with them?

I have used (and still using) keycloak and gatekeeper for some projects which we use in prod as well. They are very good and stable, but require a lot of memory. I came across ory when I was searching for alternatives for keycloak. Keycloak is done in Java and the JVM is quite hungry. Also, there are no official helm charts etc. and the project does not feel cloud native. However, when the alternative is choosing auth0 and paying a lot of money, can't complain about keycloak.
