Summary

Elliot Dickison, CEO and co-founder of Treefort Systems, discusses how his company utilizes FusionAuth to handle authentication needs for their white-label media streaming platform, which allows organizations to create branded streaming apps without coding. Treefort initially focused on faith-based organizations but offers flexible solutions for any entity with digital content seeking to build their own audience, bypassing third-party platforms. FusionAuth's multi-tenant support, theming capabilities, and industry standards like OAuth have facilitated Treefort's expansion to 70,000 user accounts without complications. Dickison praises FusionAuth for its cost-effectiveness compared to alternatives like Auth0 and appreciates its self-hosting options and robust API documentation. Despite some challenges with theme upgrades and proxying domain names, FusionAuth remains integral to Treefort's operations, with plans to explore additional features such as device code grants for TV apps in the future.
