## What it is
Hasura Backend Plus is a self-hosted service providing authentication (JWT, OAuth providers, MFA) and S3-compatible file storage APIs designed to work alongside the Hasura GraphQL Engine. It is written in TypeScript and deployed via Docker.

## Use cases
- add authentication to a Hasura GraphQL backend
- issue JWTs with Hasura roles and custom claims
- enable social login with Google, GitHub, or Apple for a Hasura app
- add two-factor authentication to user accounts
- serve and manage file uploads on S3-compatible storage like Minio
- handle secure email and password changes with verification
- self-host auth and storage for a real-time web or mobile app

## When to choose
- you are already using Hasura and need auth and storage quickly
- you want a self-hosted auth service with OAuth and MFA out of the box
- you need configurable file storage rules on any S3-compatible instance

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - the project is deprecated in favor of Hasura Auth and Hasura Storage
- you need actively maintained software with recent security patches
- your stack does not include Hasura or PostgreSQL
