## What it is
OpenAuth is a universal, standards-based OAuth 2.0 auth provider that can be deployed as a standalone service or embedded into existing applications. It is self-hosted, runs on Node.js, Bun, AWS Lambda, or Cloudflare Workers, and includes a themeable prebuilt UI.

## Use cases
- self-host an OAuth 2.0 authorization server instead of Auth0 or Clerk
- add login with Google, GitHub, or email/password to my apps
- centralize authentication across web, mobile, and internal tools
- issue OAuth tokens for third-party clients to log in with my app
- deploy an auth server on Cloudflare Workers or AWS Lambda
- embed an auth provider into an existing TypeScript application

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted, standards-based OAuth 2.0 provider you fully control
- you need one auth server for multiple apps, APIs, and mobile clients
- you deploy on serverless platforms like Cloudflare Workers or Lambda
- you want a customizable, themeable login UI out of the box

## When to avoid
- you need a fully turnkey managed auth SaaS with enterprise compliance features
- you want a drop-in auth library scoped to a single framework (e.g. NextAuth)
- you require mature GA stability - the project is still in beta

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active
- function: auth, http-server, middleware
- domain: security, web-development, backend, self-hosted, apis
- platform: bun, cloud, self-hosted, cross-platform
- tags: oauth2, identity-provider, sso, typescript, serverless, cloudflare-workers, aws-lambda, nodejs, web-server
