Overview of Skycloak

Skycloak is a fully managed Keycloak service that provides enterprise-grade identity and access management without the complexity of infrastructure management. We handle the servers, updates, and scaling so you can focus on building your application.

Why Skycloak?

The Challenge

  • Infrastructure Complexity: Setting up high-availability clusters, SSL certificates, and monitoring
  • Maintenance Overhead: Regular updates, security patches, and performance tuning
  • Scaling Challenges: Growing from hundreds to millions of users requires expertise
  • Compliance Requirements: Meeting SOC 2, GDPR, and other regulatory standards

The Solution

Skycloak provides managed Keycloak with enterprise features:

  • Zero Infrastructure Management: We handle servers, databases, and networking
  • Automatic Updates: Security patches and Keycloak updates applied seamlessly
  • Built-in Scaling: From startup to enterprise, we scale with you
  • Compliance Ready: SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and ISO 27001 certified
