alt Hacker NewsKeyCloak is great if you want a full stack Java server to run internal workforce for example, but Ory is much better at running high scale (eg at OpenAI https://www.ory.com/case-studies/openai) and in a composable fashion.
Yes we have an commercial version because how else can one finance world class open source powering the biggest software names on the planet? It‘s a good thing that Ory has a business model that works, not a bad thing. And by the way, IBM finds ways to charge you for KeyCloak too ;)
Valid points (although Keycloak was Redhat not IBM and then donated by them to CNCF), but should "security SLAs for CVEs" be listed as a premium feature?
Looked at the case study, uses Cockroach which is now commercial, so potentially with the dual costs of Ory and Cockroach licenses, unless you need massive scale, would be too expensive for small/medium and also startups? Unless your sole focus is on enterprises?
And Keycloak also has such a implementation https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/deploying-keycloak-on-coc...
