A completely new and expanded Okta Starter
Developer Edition, enhanced documentation, and open source
integrations deliver identity at scale
Okta, Inc. (NASDAQ:OKTA), the leading independent
provider of identity, today at Oktane21, announced the new Okta
Starter Developer Edition to provide developers tools to embed Okta
authentication, authorization, and user management into
applications at scale. The new Okta Starter Developer Edition is
available beginning today at no cost for up to 15,000 monthly
active users. It delivers coverage for multiple applications and
includes access to many of Okta’s Customer Identity products from
Adaptive Multi-factor Authentication to API Access Management. In
addition, developers can now get up-and-running faster than ever
before with Okta and begin addressing a broader set of identity use
cases across the full application development lifecycle. Developers
can access enhanced documentation, sample applications, and new
integrations spanning continuous integration and continuous
delivery (CI/CD), microservices and APIs, among more. Watch all of

Developers are a mission-critical resource in modern
organizations. They play an instrumental role in driving innovation
across the business from powering customer-facing digital
experiences to managing and deploying updates across entire
ecosystems of infrastructure. The demands on developers are only
compounded by a global shortage of talent. Modern tools that save
time and improve the overall day-to-day for developers with
extensibility, documentation, and self-service options are a top
priority. Beyond speed, developers are increasingly taking on the
responsibility of operating with a security mindset. Developers
need tools that enable them to build securely from the start and
integrate across software supply chains in hybrid, cloud-native, or
multi-cloud environments.
“Okta’s vision is to enable everyone to safely use any
technology,” said Diya Jolly, Chief Product Officer, Okta.
“Developers are foundational to bringing that vision to life, and
it’s our goal to make every piece of the development process easier
with Okta. Developers can ramp up at no cost with the Starter
Developer Edition, and our reimagined developer experience delivers
tools that seamlessly work with developers’ toolchains across
whatever hybrid, cloud, or multi-cloud environment they’re building
on. If developers need to do something with identity, they can do
it with Okta.”
“MongoDB was created to unleash the power of software and data
for innovators everywhere,” said Benjamin Cefalo, Director, Product
Management, MongoDB. “And we’re drawn to technologies that share
our DNA to solve complex scale and agility challenges. With Okta,
we put the power of identity security to work. The Okta platform
and APIs enable our teams to move rapidly and build highly
scalable, customizable, and secure experiences that delight
users.”
Unleashing The Okta Identity Cloud for Developers
Developers can immediately benefit from more of the Okta
Identity Cloud’s power than ever before with the new Okta Starter
Developer Edition available at no cost for up to 15,000 monthly
active users. In addition, this new offering includes powerful Okta
Customer Identity products including Adaptive Multi-factor
Authentication, enabling developers to build more securely for
free.
Auth For All: Secure Applications, APIs, and
Infrastructure
The new Okta Starter Developer Edition is complemented by a
reimagined development experience and redesigned console for all
Okta customers that delivers faster time-to-market and full
application development lifecycle support. Developers can now get
up-and-running rapidly through enhanced documentation, guides, and
sample applications for the most popular languages and frameworks
including Go, Java, JavaScript, Python, VueJS, React Native, and
Spring Boot. In addition, powerful new integrations with DevOps,
SecOps, and API Security tooling means developers can leverage the
power of identity across a variety of use cases to secure
applications, APIs, and infrastructure. New integrations include
Heroku to automate identity across CI/CD pipelines, Kong to protect
APIs, and an updated Okta Terraform provider to replicate Okta
configuration across environments.
"Kong enables developers, enterprise architects, and
infrastructure administrators to address their application
connectivity needs in today's cloud native world," said Reza
Shafii, VP of Products at Kong Inc. "The capabilities provided by
our Kong Konnect platform are amplified by deeply integrating with
other leading platforms like Okta. With Okta and Kong working
together, two critical factors in modern application development
become significantly easier to deliver on – connectivity and
authorization – giving application owners back more of their
hard-earned time and enabling them to build more reliable digital
experiences at a more rapid pace.”
