Should I migrate from Better Auth after the Vercel acquisition?

Vercel's acquisition of Better Auth, the company behind the open-source TypeScript authentication library, does not immediately compel users to migrate from the library, which remains free, MIT-licensed, and maintained by the same team. However, governance changes as the roadmap focuses more on agent identity rather than enterprise needs, prompting B2B teams to reassess their dependency on Better Auth. While the library allows for in-app control of authentication processes, this often involves operational burdens that could be mitigated by using managed services like WorkOS, which already handles authentication for companies like OpenAI and Indeed. The acquisition serves as a catalyst for organizations to evaluate whether maintaining their own identity infrastructure aligns with their strategic goals, especially as they face security reviews and enterprise feature demands. Migration paths to other platforms like WorkOS are well-documented, offering a structured transition for those deciding to shift away from Better Auth.
