Hi HN - I'm the founder of WorkOS! :wave:

We got our start here with a "Show HN" almost exactly a year ago. [0] Hard to believe!

I just wanted to quickly say thanks for all your enthusiasm, feedback, and support. Your thoughts have been incredibly helpful in shaping this product and creating a great developer experience. Deeply appreciate it. :)

congrats Michael! i was bought in ever since I saw your epic Crossing the Enterprise Chasm talk :)

(for those who havent seen: its in the blogpost)

One of the most insightful talks for companies building in this space; look forward to seeing more content relating to Enterprise Readiness

Congrats on the win and thanks again for helping us get started with WorkOS

Congratulations!

Exited to see what's brewing with this cash-boost.

As a founder and CTO I had to learn about so much of that stuff on the fly. And most companies marketing is FUD. Happy to see someone take the "let's make this easy and approachable route".

As a software engineer, really happy that my current company started out with WorkOs!

Congrats to the WorkOS team - their extremely pleasant wrapper over SSO and SCIM has made my side project possible rather than a nightmare of integrations

I’m a bit confused. They talk about adding all kinds of enterprise features but I’m mainly just seeing SSO in all their examples and copy.

Is there other stuff?

Btw - loved Nylas but actually the sync component. Didn’t bother too much with the consumer client. Wanted to use the sync component for an app where people would email PDFs.

Most apps need SSO first and it’s become a more widespread need in orgs of all sizes (not just large enterprise). We decided to feature SSO more prominently in our marketing for this reason. But the API docs gives weight to other features.

Congrats! We use WorkOS and they have saved us tons of time in both engineering and support cases. We frequently have customers compliment us on how easy it is to configure SAML and SCIM, but it's really WorkOS's wizard that they are complimenting :)

Congrats! Love the simplicity and appreciate that you help us take away the headache that is SSO.
