Prologue
Although article is inspired from personal dev experience and I tried my best to keep things objective, it's still non-negligible that I'm one of the creators of Logto (an auth product).
I would like to point out this first for a better reading experience.
I’ve seen a lot of developers asking questions like “Should I build my own auth for my app?”. While the answer cannot be a simple "Yes" or "No", I’d like to write an article to breakdown the implementation and demonstrate the pros and cons to help you decide.

Background
In the previous article, we introduced the concept of authentication (AuthN) and authorization (AuthZ), along with some headachy terms: Identity, Organization, Tenant, etc.
