I came here to question exactly that.

That's a very very odd combination.




So the core is written in Java. The core is a http microservice that contains the main auth logic + interacts with the database.

The backend API queries the core for sign in / sign up / sessions etc... This can be in any framework, and we decided to choose NodeJS first. Here, the user does not have to interact with Java at all.. just simply use our NodeJS SDK that internally calls the core's APIs


We have SDKs for other backend frameworks as well (like golang, laravel...). But those only have a session feature, and not login. Hope this provides some clarification.


I was mostly confused that you would write something in Java that doesn't target Java.

I'm writing stuff in Java (and Kotlin and Clojure) and, even though it looks cool, won't look too closely unless it supports Java.


Yup. This. Give us an embedded library that will work with my Java app. JAX RS or or at least callable from within my JAX RS resource. Spring would be nice, too.


Do you have a ETA for flask login support? I literally just rolled my own but I'll want to switch it over at some point.


We expect to have Flask login ready sometime early next year. If you could drop me an email on advait at supertokens.io - I'll let you know when its released!
