Summary

Clerk, a provider of serverless, edge-compatible authentication, serves over 5,000 Jamstack teams and has recently joined the Netlify Jamstack Innovation Fund to deepen its involvement in the ecosystem. Inspired by Netlify's co-founder Matt Biilman's 2016 discourse on Jamstack, Clerk aims to revolutionize developer tools by offering both backend and frontend SDKs, including React components and hooks. These tools, such as the <SignUp/> component and the useSignUp() hook, allow developers to integrate a comprehensive and customizable sign-up flow directly into their applications, thereby streamlining the process of building fully-featured authentication systems from days to mere minutes. Clerk's recognition as one of the 10 most promising Jamstack startups underlines their commitment to innovation, and they look forward to collaborating with the Netlify team to further advance their offerings.
