Better Auth is a TypeScript authentication and authorization framework you embed into your own application. It provides server and client APIs, database adapters, sessions, migrations, plugins, and integrations for modern web runtimes.

Dub is an open-source link attribution platform for short links, branded domains, click analytics, conversion tracking, webhooks, API-driven link management, and affiliate-style programs. It can be self-hosted, but it is architected like a cloud-native SaaS: Next.js on Vercel-style hosting, MySQL for transactional data, Upstash Redis/QStash for caching and jobs, Tinybird/ClickHouse for analytics, and S3-compatible object storage for uploaded assets.
