Congratulations on the launch!

Heavily evaluated better-auth when implementing auth at my current company. Ended up with keycloak because of SAML SSO.

One thing I remember having some issues with was customising schemas with the drizzle adapter. Looks like you've cleared up the documentation more now. I think at the time I was confused as to wether custom schemas were specified in the drizzle adapter options, or inside the the organization plugin.

Basically mixing up these two: https://www.better-auth.com/docs/plugins/organization#custom... https://www.better-auth.com/docs/adapters/drizzle#additional...

Thanks for all your work, it is a really cool library!

Do you have any recommendations on how to get started with Keycloak or just RTFM?

My two cents: Keycloak's UI is pretty self explanatory if you understand OIDC (oauth2 + jwt + specific JWT claims) and, if you have to use it (my condolences, though it's also just interesting to see how crazy specs can get), SAML. I'd strongly suggest reading up on the OpenID Connect spec, including the oauth2 spec, and this will serve you very well in your authn/z journey.

That said, keycloak also does have a great docs site.
