Co-Founder & CEO, ZITADEL | Open-Source Identity Infrastructure | IAM, AuthN/AuthZ & Cloud-Native Security
A little while ago, I talked about our commitment to radically improve ZITADEL's developer experience. Today, I’m just showing a first result -> 42 seconds. ⏱️ That is the exact time it takes to go from an empty terminal to a fully operational identity stack. No heavy runtime to boot. No undocumented config files to debug. No massive YAML mazes (no worries you can go there if you want). Just a raw docker compose up -d on a clean machine. In under a minute, the images are pulled, the database is initialized, the Go API and Next.js UI are served, and I'm authenticated into the Management Console. Auth is critical infrastructure, but setting it up locally to build your app shouldn't be a multi-day engineering ticket. It should be boring, predictable, and lightning-fast. If you are evaluating IAM or just want to test this cold-start speed yourself, grab the compose file from our docs and time it -> https://lnkd.in/g8uUQX8z #DeveloperExperience #DevOps #IdentityManagement #OpenSource #Golang #NextJs
