Keycloak is a popular Open Source Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution that provides single sign on, amongst other capabilities.
Over the last 10 years it has grown its community, and in 2023 it joined the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) at the Linux Foundation.
This session invites all Keycloak users and contributors to share their successes and challenges, and to discuss ideas and upcoming features with the Keycloak maintainers.
After a short introduction to Keycloak and its latest features and roadmap, we'll switch to "lean coffee" mode: We'll collect the participants topics, prioritize them by dot-voting, and discuss them one by one starting with the ones which received the highest number of points.
As Keycloak maintainers, we would like to use this opportunity to connect with Keycloak users and contributors to learn what works well, what needs improvement and to generate ideas for future roadmap items.
