"Better Auth’s pitch is simple: Let developers implement everything from simple authentication flows to enterprise-grade systems directly on their databases and embed it all on the back end."

Its absolutely bonkers to me that web development has gotten to a point where this is a novel pitch. Up until not that long ago ALL auth was done directly in your own database and embeded in your own backend. Am I missing something?

I'm curious about this too. How does this, for example, compare to Django's built-in auth?

Curious as well - based on what I see. This is geared towards the node land vs. python.
