What is a good alternative to Firebase for user management, more specifically for Python?

Question

What is an alternative to firebase for user management/auth for python apps. I know I can use node.js w/ firebase but, I would rather authenticate users through a managed 3rd party API in python using HTTPS requests,if possible. Appery.io has this feature but, I do not need all that comes with appery.io

Firebase doesn't use HTTPS? – Sylphid

Answer 1

Check out Amazon Cognito . They offer a quite nice package for small projects. Backendless is also a fantastic service, providing authentication and database with very helpful documentation and also SDK for different platforms including iOS, Android, Javascript, Rest API, Angular, React and React Native. I have been using Backendless for a couple of months and I highly recommend you use it, too.

If you're looking for a self-hosted solution, Keycloak is a pretty robust option. If you want a service, Auth0 and Okta have quite a lot of features. They also offer a free tier with reasonable limits.

You could try using Auth0 for pure authentication management. The Auth0 python package can be found here.
