Ask HN: Is Authorization Development Difficult?

1 pointrealmarioflores2 comments

Hey everyone. I’ve been researching for the past few months about authorization. I’ve read articles about how difficult it can be to build your own. I was wondering if that is true? If any of you are facing the same problem, I would love to know your thoughts and experience in building one. Thanks.

It all depends on what exactly you need with the authorization. Building a simple one isn't too complicated (even boilerplates exists). If you do not have multiple dependencies, you can easily implement one using firebase (google) or cognito (aws).

I personally like to develop my own one, since I do not want to have too many external dependencies.

not sure why you wouldn't go with this:
