summary
Compares real authentication providers (Amazon Cognito, Google Firebase, Auth0) and recommends Auth0 once you approach ~50k active users based on features, price, and scale. Explains JWT redirect flows, using short‑lived ID tokens with refresh tokens stored in httpOnly cookies (vs localStorage), and discusses single‑tenant versus multi‑tenant tradeoffs. Presents a production implementation using custom React Hooks, claiming integration takes hours rather than weeks.
