What it is
Keycloak is an open-source identity and access management solution for modern applications and services. It provides SSO, identity brokering, social login, user federation, and detailed admin consoles. Designed for self-hosted deployments where data sovereignty is critical.
When it fits — and when it doesn’t
A good fit for
Teams requiring fully self-hosted auth with SAML, OIDC, and user federation — especially in regulated industries
Look elsewhere if
Teams wanting managed auth with zero infrastructure overhead
