Better Auth is joining Vercel

I’m excited to announce that Better Auth is joining Vercel.

From the very beginning, this team has been our biggest inspiration and has always reflected many of the reasons we started working on Better Auth.

Vercel shares our commitment to keeping auth open source, framework and platform agnostic. Joining forces gives us more resources and room to focus on building the framework that much of the community relies on.

Together, we’ll also be able to invest more deeply in where auth is heading: a future where agents act on users’ behalf and need secure, scoped, and revocable access, while bringing these primitives across Vercel’s products.

I’m incredibly grateful to our community, everyone who inspired us in different ways and helped us get here.

Three years ago, I was building an open-source web analytics platform and I needed to add auth. Back then, whenever I started a project with Next.js, I’d reach for NextAuth. Most of the time, all I needed was “sign in with Google” and a simple user object, so it worked great.
