Ory Hydra
OpenID Certified OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect server optimized for low-latency, high throughput, and cloud-native deployments.
What is Ory Hydra?
Ory Hydra is an open-source, OpenID Certified OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect server that provides secure authorization and authentication for applications. It solves the complexity of implementing OAuth2 and OpenID Connect flows by offering a standalone server that integrates with existing identity providers through headless APIs, enabling single sign-on, API access, and machine-to-machine authorization.
Developers and platform engineers building scalable applications that require OAuth2/OpenID Connect compliance, especially those in cloud-native environments (e.g., Kubernetes) or with existing identity systems.
Developers choose Ory Hydra for its certification, performance at scale, and flexibility—it works with any identity provider, offers both managed and self-hosted deployment, and is trusted by companies like OpenAI for high-volume, security-critical workloads.
