How Twilio Keeps Internal Docs Secure with Okta and Netlify
Twilio`, a cloud communication platform, created an open-source package called `netlify-okta-auth` to help others secure their internal documentation sites with `Okta` and `Netlify`. The company built its own internal documentation site using the `Jamstack` framework `Docusaurus`, which uses `React` to build the site. They hosted the site on `Netlify` due to its suitability for Jamstack apps and ease of use. To secure the site, they used `Okta`s enterprise identity provider to provide a JWT that could be verified by `Netlify`. The company also utilized `Netlify's` Deploy Previews feature to allow content authors to see what the site would look like with proposed changes before deployment. The `netlify-okta-auth` package provides a simpler way for others to integrate Okta authentication with Netlify, reducing complexity and providing helpful documentation.
