What you give up either way

Large, battle-tested integrations catalogue (Okta Integration Network)
Enterprise-grade scale and uptime (hundreds of millions of users at scale)
Vendor reputation, certifications, and enterprise SLAs
Advanced identity threat detection, posture management, and privileged access features
Okta-specific AI-agent runtime governance features (Agent Gateway, Resource Access Certifications)

An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Okta Workforce Identity, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
