Disclosure: I work for FusionAuth, a competitor of Authentik.

Curious. Is your solution active-active or active-passive? We've implemented multi-region active-passive CIAM/IAM in our hosted solution[0]. We've found that meets needs of many of our clients.

I'm only aware of one CIAM solution that seems to have active-active: Ory. And even then I think they shard the user data[1].

1: https://www.ory.com/blog/global-identity-and-access-manageme... is the only doc I've found and it's a bit vague, tbh.



Hey Dan, appreciate the discussion!

Ory’s setup is indeed true multi-region active-active; not just sharded or active-passive failover. Each region runs a full stack capable of handling both read and write operations, with global data consistency and locality guarantees.

We’ll soon publish a case study with a customer that uses this setup that goes deeper into how Ory handles multi-region deployments in production (latency, data residency, and HA patterns). It’ll include some of the technical details missing from that earlier blog post you linked. Keep an eye out!

There are also some details mentioned here: https://www.ory.com/blog/personal-data-storage
