Speed up your auth with Upstash and Better Auth

Better Auth, an authentication framework, can improve scalability and performance by using Upstash Redis for managing short-lived authentication data such as sessions, rate limits, OTP attempts, and password reset tokens instead of storing them in the primary database. This approach offloads the main database, typically Postgres, and is particularly advantageous for applications with large AI workloads. Upstash Redis operates over HTTP, making it suitable for serverless apps and seamlessly integrating with Better Auth's secondary storage API. In addition to session data, Better Auth can store rate limit counters in Redis, enhancing efficiency by avoiding database strain. For existing applications with active users, it is important to maintain in-database sessions during the transition to Redis to prevent users from being logged out unexpectedly.
