We looked at Okta, Auth0 and Cognito when shopping for an identity/auth solution. If you have pretty vanilla requirements then a SaaS solution will probably be easier. Keycloak is not the easiest thing in the world to deploy (although it's pretty straightforward to deploy on k8s using https://github.com/codecentric/helm-charts/tree/master/chart...).

If you need a lot of customizations then Keycloak is great since it has a really robust architecture for writing extensions. It's also pretty cheap to run so if cost is a major consideration it's definitely worth a look.



FusionAuth has some k8s, helm, docker and openshift examples as well. https://github.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-containers

FusionAuth is not open source, so if that is a hard requirement, you'll have to skip it.


Since you looked at Okta, Auth0 and Cognita ... which one did you pick?


We went with Keycloak. Both for cost and for extensibility. More than happy with our choice
