ZITADEL uses a modern software stack consisting of [**Golang**](https://golang.org/), [**Angular**](https://angular.io/) and [**CockroachDB**](https://www.cockroachlabs.com/) as sole storage and follows an event sourced pattern. We built **ZITADEL** not only with the vision of becoming a great open source project but also as a superb platform to support developers building their applications, without need to handle secure user login and account management themselves. ## How Does It Work We built **ZITADEL** around the idea that the IAM should be easy to deploy and scale. That's why we tried to reduce external systems as much as possible. For example, **ZITADEL** is event sourced but it does not rely on a pub/sub system to function. Instead we built all the functionality right into one binary. **ZITADEL** only needs [**Kubernetes**](https://kubernetes.io/) for orchestration and [**CockroachDB**](https://www.cockroachlabs.com/) as storage. ## Features of ZITADEL platform * Authentication * OpenID Connect 1.0 Protocol (OP) * Username / Password * Machine-to-machine (JWT profile) * Passwordless with FIDO2 * Multifactor authentication with OTP, U2F * Federation with OpenID Connect 1.0 Protocol (RP), OAuth 2.0 Protocol (RP) * Authorization via Role Based Access Control (RBAC) * Identity Brokering * Delegation of roles to other organizations for self-management * Strong audit trail for all IAM resources * User interface for administration * APIs for Management, Administration, and Authentication * Policy configuration and enforcement ## How To Use It ### ZITADEL Cloud We provide a cloud service [**ZITADEL.ch**](https://zitadel.ch) where people can register their own organization. There is a **free tier** including unlimited users and all the security features you need. ### Run ZITADEL in the cloud or on-premise **ZITADEL** is free open source software under [Apache 2.0](##License) managed by [CAOS](https://caos.ch). We provide our community access to ZITADEL releases at no cost and welcome all contributions. You can run **ZITADEL** in combination with [**ORBOS**](https://github.com/caos/orbos/) for easy and scalable operation on * **[GCEProvider](https://cloud.google.com/compute)** * **[StaticProvider](https://github.com/caos/orbos/blob/master/docs/orbiter/static.md)** * Any CNCF conform Kubernetes > Stay tuned, we will soon publish a more detailed guide on how you can deploy a **hyperconverged** system on your own. ### Let us run ZITADEL for you If our cloud service or running **ZITADEL** on your own infrastructure does not work for you, we are happy to run a private instance of **ZITADEL** for you or provide you with our support services.
