●●●BangerBig BrainNiche Gem
Postgres RLS isolation beats Keycloak's complexity for small teams.
Strengths
- •20MB heap footprint lets it run on $6/mo VPS alongside your app.
- •PostgreSQL Row-Level Security enforces tenant boundaries at the database layer.
- •Zero-knowledge double-envelope encryption via hefesto crate is auditable.
Weaknesses
- •Alpha status means APIs will change before Q3 2026 production release.
- •No mention of horizontal scaling or multi-node clustering support yet.
