Keycloak for Software Engineers
Two days of intensive introduction to the implementation of scalable and robust enterprise applications with selected elements of Keycloak (e.g. oAuth reverse proxy, WebAuthn, 2 factor).
Nowadays, enterprise applications are increasingly built on a modern security architecture. Keycloak has established itself as the dominant security platform in enterprises and provides the optimal solution for enterprise application with OIDC and a wide variety of supported login methods. This allows projects to be realised much faster and maintained better than with traditional approaches.

More about Keycloak
Keycloak is an open-source Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution developed and maintained by Red Hat. It implements modern standards such as OpenID Connect (OIDC), OAuth 2.0, and SAML 2.0, enabling organizations to centrally manage authentication and authorization. With Single Sign-On (SSO), social login, and multi-factor authentication, Keycloak provides a comprehensive security platform for enterprise applications.Further resources:
History
Keycloak was released in 2014 by JBoss (a Red Hat company) as an open-source project to address the growing demand for standardized identity management in enterprise environments. The platform quickly established itself as a leading IAM solution in the Java ecosystem, especially through seamless integration with Spring Security and the Jakarta EE world.
With the introduction of Quarkus as the new runtime base starting with version 17 (2022), Keycloak fundamentally modernized its architecture, significantly improving startup time, memory consumption, and cloud-native deployments. Today, Keycloak is part of the CNCF ecosystem and is continuously developed by a large global community.
