Teams that want full control over auth with zero vendor lock-in, self-hosted, and completely free.

Pros

Why teams pick it

  • Lucia provides App Router and Server Actions examples; integration requires manual middleware but is well documented.
  • Lucia was originally built with Astro in mind and has strong SSR integration patterns.
  • Lucia's database adapter model works cleanly with Drizzle for session and user table management.
  • Any Postgres-compatible database works with Lucia via its adapter system.

Cons

Where it gives ground

  • No built-in SSO, SCIM, or enterprise directory integration; teams must build or integrate these separately.
  • No pre-built login, signup, or password reset UI components; all must be built from scratch.
