Tamás Deme and Grady Salzman, engineers at Contenda, discussed their use of FusionAuth for user management needs. They initially used a custom implementation but found it inadequate for scaling and chose FusionAuth due to its cost-effectiveness and "friendliness" - including robust support and flexible pricing strategies. The team uses FusionAuth's OAuth, user management, and social sign-on features, with Grady handling frontend integration and Tamás focusing on backend efforts. Contenda aims to democratize high-quality content creation for users and organizations, using FusionAuth to streamline their authentication process. By leveraging FusionAuth, the company has saved time and resources, allowing them to focus on their core mission.
