Keycloak is powerful, but self-hosting means owning upgrades, CVE patching, HA clustering, database tuning and backups. Tuurio ID gives you the same standard OIDC, fully managed and hosted in Germany.
Keycloak is a capable open-source identity server, but running it in production means managing infrastructure: version upgrades, CVE patching, high-availability clustering, JVM and database tuning, and backups. For teams without a dedicated platform group, that overhead is a standing cost.
Tuurio ID delivers the same standards-based OpenID Connect as a fully managed service. Upgrades, patching, high availability and backups are handled for you, with enforceable MFA, passkeys and multi-tenant organizations — hosted in Germany under an Art. 28 GDPR data-processing agreement.
Same standards, none of the operational burden.
Upgrades, CVE patching, HA and backups are handled for you.
Hosted in Germany with a GDPR data-processing agreement.
Enforceable, phishing-resistant login without manual configuration.
Standard OIDC/OAuth2 — migrate clients without rework.
