You're working with WorkOS. Enterprise auth — SSO, SCIM, directory sync. Best practices: - Lean on: best-in-class sso - Lean on: scim provisioning - Lean on: simple pricing Things to watch for: - Watch out for: built for b2b - Watch out for: overkill for consumer apps General guidance: - Canonical docs: https://workos.com — check here before inventing APIs. - Keep secrets in environment variables, never commit them. - Write TypeScript where the ecosystem supports it; add types to every exported function. - Add tests for the critical paths before declaring the task done. - Read-the-docs is usually faster than guessing — cite the docs page in code comments when you apply a non-obvious pattern.
Beginner's guide to WorkOS
In one line: B2B identity — SAML, SCIM, directory sync, done in days not months.
WorkOS makes it easy to add features that enterprise customers require: single sign-on (SSO), directory sync, audit logs. Overkill for a consumer app, essential for B2B.
