Summary

Dr. Laurent Michel, a FusionAuth community member and product owner at Softozor, discusses how his small team is utilizing FusionAuth to address their authentication needs within their e-commerce platform designed to support craftsmen, such as farmers and bakers, in selling their products regionally. Softozor, composed of physicists, mathematicians, and teachers, is primarily focused on developing educational video games but depends on software development projects for funding. They have integrated FusionAuth into their platform's admin panel for user management, generating JWTs consumed by their Hasura API, which is vital for permission management and secure operations. The decision to use FusionAuth over other options was influenced by its ease of installation, comprehensive features, and outstanding documentation, saving them significant time and resources. The platform is progressing gradually, leveraging a Kubernetes cluster and adhering to the JAMstack philosophy, with plans to extend FusionAuth integration beyond the admin panel. Michel notes their satisfaction with the .NET and Python SDKs and suggests potential improvements such as supporting Pasetos for enhanced security.
