I&#8217;ll be working to help our customers succeed and promote the virtues of standards based user management systems. I get to <a href=\"https:\/\/fusionauth.io\/blog\/\">write a lot of content<\/a> and example applications against a <a href=\"https:\/\/fusionauth.io\/docs\/v1\/tech\/apis\/\">full featured API<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve built enough systems to know two things:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Users and their behavior are almost always a key part of any software application.<\/li>\n<li>User management is difficult to get right, especially if you want to use secure best practices and standards such as OAuth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>FusionAuth wants to elevate everyone&#8217;s user identity management system. The community edition is free and will always be. (It&#8217;s important to note that it is free as in beer, not free as in speech, but almost all of the development <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/fusionauth\">happens in the open<\/a>.) If you want to run FusionAuth on your own forever, that&#8217;s great! You get a secure user store that supports OAuth, SAML and two factor authentication, free forever. We&#8217;ll happily provide you &#8220;best effort&#8221; support in our <a href=\"https:\/\/fusionauth.io\/community\/forum\/\">forums<\/a> and we&#8217;ve seen the community help each other out too (most notably in the creation of <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/fusionauth\/charts\">helm charts to run FusionAuth on Kubernetes<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>If, on the other hand, you find value in FusionAuth and want guaranteed support, custom development, or hosting, we&#8217;re <a href=\"https:\/\/fusionauth.io\/pricing\">happy to sell that to you<\/a>. The price is often a fraction of the other solutions out there. Another differentiator for FusionAuth is that you can host it wherever you want: in your data center, in your cloud, or on our cloud servers. Not every client needs that level of control, but many do.<\/p>\n<p>I really love the business model of providing a ton of value to your end users and monetizing only a small percentage of them with unique needs. (I&#8217;ve been involved in this type of business before.) The business thrives and there&#8217;s a ton of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Economic_surplus\">consumer surplus<\/a> generated.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m really excited about this opportunity. It&#8217;s a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crunchbase.com\/organization\/fusionauth#section-overview\">nimble company<\/a> with a passionate team based in Denver. If you need a user identity management system built from the ground up for developer happiness, please check us out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wanted to let y&#8217;all know that I&#8217;ve joined FusionAuth as a developer advocate.
