Score: 5.5/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 5, Documentation: 7, Utility: 6)

Irongate is a Rust-based serverless authentication template for AWS, using API Gateway, Lambda, and DynamoDB deployed via SST. It provides a self-hosted auth core that avoids vendor lock-in and per-user pricing, making it a practical starting point for teams wanting to own their auth layer. Its structured documentation and secret boundary design show thoughtful engineering, though it is an incremental improvement on existing patterns.

Target audience: backend devs
