supertokens did the same thing from bengaluru. didn’t start loud. just showed up with clean abstractions that didn’t leak. you could tell someone had wrestled with real auth mess before touching a single line. it worked, across teams, stacks, workflows

better auth gives off the same shape. that gets well adopted because it survives scaling without needing a rewrite

same pattern and diff origin place. someone holding the whole stack in their head long enough to ship something
