Need help understanding Zitadel for large corporations and custom UI
Hi, Im looking into Zitadel to replace our custom identity system. One thing I immediately noticed was that Zitadel is trying to be everything at once and that can be very hard to pull off. On paper it looks like a great option but when I dug deeper I found some nuances. For example we are a well established entity and have front end and mobile application engineers so I wanted to use our own UI, the endpoints for the create user and session require authentication (probably by a service account). So I’ll need another service wrapping Zitadel and handling dos attacks and etc. I don’t get the design philosophy of putting everything behind an API is it because of multi tenant feature? We are B2C so we just have to put up with it not being reproducible?? My other option is Ory Kratos which I believe to be superior in security but slow in features and development. I want something in the middle I like the activity and development on the Zitadel and the integration of Ory. I don’t want a UI to change things I want well thought and secure APIs. It gives me Keycloak vibes.
These are all my opinions and feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.
