It takes like an hour. So that's a quick mvp then

Social logins, email logins, password resets, multi-tenant, organizations, many to many users to organizations, etc etc. Not necessary for MVP, but can definitely be painful hacking in later if the MVP hits.

  • What you are talking about is in a large part authentication. You can do authentication using an external service and still have your user table locally. You can also do authorization locally with a local session table while leaving authentication to a SaaS.

  • By the time you're so big you need all of that, there will be other people at the table to "hack that in".

  • Social logins, multi-tenant and organizations are very far from table-stakes for an MVP.

    Whether it's painful to put in later or not is sadly nothing that the managers and executives concern themselves with.

    • Depends on the company and product. The SSO/Social login, multi tenant and multi platform are indeed needed for my MVP.
