What Is ZITADEL
ZITADEL is a "Cloud Native Identity and Access Management" solution built for the cloud era. ZITADEL uses a modern software stack consisting of Golang, Angular and CockroachDB 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 for orchestration and CockroachDB as storage.

How To Use It
ZITADEL Cloud
We provide a cloud service 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 managed by CAOS. We provide our community access to ZITADEL releases at no cost and welcome all contributions.
You can run ZITADEL in combination with ORBOS for easy and scalable operation on
- GCEProvider
- StaticProvider
- 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. Get in touch!
