Lucia Auth
Abandoned — March 2025
What was it?
Lightweight, framework-agnostic auth library for TypeScript. Session-based, database-first, no vendor lock-in.
What happened?
Maintainer pixelass/pilcrowonpaper announced Lucia would become a learning resource, not a library. v3 was the last release. Recommended building auth yourself or moving to Better Auth.
Migration Guide
Better Auth (closest spiritual successor), Auth.js (NextAuth v5), or Clerk for managed auth. Lucia's docs remain as a learning resource.
