The State of Homegrown Auth Report

The 2025 State of Homegrown Authentication Report, sponsored by FusionAuth and Cloudelligent, provides the first deep dive into the tech stacks and team dynamics of organizations building their own identity systems. While many teams opt for in-house solutions for better security and customization, the data reveals significant risks, including the fact that 20% of respondents have experienced a security breach.

Key findings from this inaugural study of 144 IT practitioners include:

Architecture Trends: 67% of teams build their systems from scratch or roll their own auth server rather than using third-party providers.
The Tech Stack: Java, JavaScript, and C++ remain the top languages, with 72% of teams running auth in containerized or Kubernetes environments.
Productivity Benchmarks: Passport.js and Spring Security are rated as the top libraries for both long-term maintenance and initial time to value.
Team Composition: 60% of teams involve senior-level staff, yet only 23% of those contributors are considered identity specialists.
Infrastructure Preferences: Roughly half of development teams prefer local environments over SaaS tools for building and testing auth-related flows.

Connecting the Dots 2026: 5 Marketing Trends You Might Be Missing

The Connecting the dots 2026 report from GWI highlights critical, non-obvious marketing trends that are often overlooked in standard advertising plans. Drawing from a wealth of research, this report provides deep insights into fast-changing audiences and shifting consumer habits to help you sharpen your 2026 strategy.

This comprehensive study explores five key areas shaping the future of marketing:

AI and Insights: While many advertisers and marketers use AI professionally, relying on web-scraped data leads to generic, stereotypical results that lack depth.
The Intent-Behavior Gap: Consumers are increasingly contradictory, creating a significant opportunity for brands that can bridge the gap between expressed intent and actual buying behavior.
Social Media Dominance: Social media remains the dominant media form, with people spending massive amounts of time on social platforms and short videos each week.
World Cup Fandom: The audience for the upcoming tournament is rewriting the rules of engagement, with many fans identifying as avid gamers who view the event as a social ecosystem.
Defining Gen Alpha: As the oldest Alphas reach their teen years, it is essential to recognize them as a distinct generation rather than a simple continuation of Gen Z.
