Learn Zitadel: Open Source Authentication That Doesn't Suck | Stop Paying Thousands for Identity Management
Zitadel Prerequisites: Just Postgres | Simplest Authentication Setup Guide
Run Zitadel locally with Docker Compose and Postgres: health checks, master key, TLS for dev, and the console on localhost:8080.
This comprehensive hands-on tutorial demonstrates how to deploy Zitadel, the modern identity and access management platform, to a Kubernetes cluster using the official Helm charts. Starting with essential prerequisites including a running Kubernetes cluster (kind, minikube, or cloud-based) and the ability to execute kubectl and Helm commands, you'll learn the complete deployment process from start to finish.
Learn how to get started with Zitadel Cloud, the managed service for Zitadel. In less than five minutes, you can have a fully functional Zitadel instance without managing any infrastructure. This is perfect for prototyping, side projects, or evaluating Zitadel quickly.
Learn how to configure your first application in the Zitadel console, hook it up to a sample application, and inspect the JWT claims. We'll cover the PKCE flow, token introspection, and adding user roles.
Learn how to integrate Zitadel with an Astro application, configure authentication, and manage user sessions. We'll cover the PKCE flow, token introspection, and adding user roles.
Learn how to integrate Zitadel with an Remix application, configure authentication, and manage user sessions. We'll cover the PKCE flow, token introspection, and adding user roles.
