Summary

This interview highlights Lohith Venkatesh, a software developer at DolphinVC, who shares his experience with FusionAuth, an authentication service. He explains that he chose FusionAuth for its flexibility in deploying the service on his own private data center, which was important for price and deployment reasons. Lohith's team uses FusionAuth for user management, social sign-on, and authentication logic, solving several problems they faced previously, such as constraining themselves to a specific cloud provider. He has built custom features like phone one-time password authentication and email auth flows on top of the FusionAuth API. Lohith praises FusionAuth for its documentation, APIs, and price, stating that it has saved his team at least a month or more of time and money. He also shares that running FusionAuth on a Kubernetes cluster is an efficient way to deploy the service. The interview concludes with feedback from Lohith, including the desire for a complete implementation of a multi-tenant role in the admin UI.
