Next.js 14 Authentication Tutorial (Super EASY!)

Great video, and introduction to Clerk and Xeta, never heard of either before ❤ only issue is that filtering the database on the userid is not really secure because its not a database rule denying access when the user is not actually the user but just provides the id

Awsome content James

Thank you James!
I was looking for something like this for a long time. I enjoyed it very much. It didn't take me much long and I hardly had any issues. Keep it up!

Absolute gold of a video, I'm trying to do this but with supabase instead of xata. Reading through documentation is slow, but a great learning experience! Also, is it possible to do this with supabase or is xata integrated with clerk in a manner that supabase is not? Thanks!

Awesome video, James!

I recently started tapping into backend development to better understand how it all connects with the frontend since I already have some experience on the frontend. I must say now I have a much clear understanding of how things work overall.

I found the auth part a bit complicated though. I learned about session cookies and tokens using JWT. Do you think one must always consider using a third-party service such as Clerk for authentication? What could be some of the reasons not using such services and building your own?

Buy the way, Next.js really confusing me now since their server and client logic are in one file. 😅

super easy! 38 min video 😂

Ah I thought Clerk is free 😅 Great service from them, I wish SMS messages were in the free trial

Solid video - thanks James!

Yyeaaaay new video.

Astro authentication coming next? 🍻😊

I mean, it is always easy when you use paid SaaS products :D
