Workos Laravel Package

Product Decisions This Supports

• Enterprise Identity & Access Management (IAM) Integration: Accelerates adoption of WorkOS AuthKit (e.g., SSO, MFA, directory sync) in Laravel-based SaaS products, reducing custom dev effort by 30–50%.
• Starter Kit Roadmap: Justifies investing in Laravel starter kits (e.g., Jetstream, Breeze) as a foundation for WorkOS-powered apps, aligning with Laravel’s ecosystem.
• Build vs. Buy: Avoids reinventing WorkOS integrations (e.g., OAuth, SCIM) for auth/directory features, lowering TCO for compliance-heavy industries (healthcare, finance).
• Use Cases:
  • B2B SaaS: Embed WorkOS for customer portal SSO (e.g., "Login with your company’s SSO").
  • Internal Tools: Streamline employee onboarding with WorkOS Directory sync.
  • Multi-Tenant Apps: Leverage WorkOS’s tenant-aware auth for shared infrastructure.

When to Consider This Package

• Adopt When:

  • Your Laravel app requires WorkOS AuthKit (e.g., SSO, MFA, directory sync) and you’re using Laravel starter kits (Jetstream/Breeze).
  • You need pre-built integrations for WorkOS’s APIs (e.g., OAuth, SCIM) without custom backend logic.
  • Your team lacks WorkOS expertise but needs rapid compliance-ready auth (e.g., HIPAA, SOC 2).
  • You’re evaluating Laravel starter kits and want to future-proof for WorkOS features.

• Look Elsewhere If:

  • You’re not using Laravel (package is Laravel-specific).
  • You need custom WorkOS features beyond AuthKit (e.g., WorkOS Devices, Audit Logs).
  • Your auth stack is non-WorkOS (e.g., Okta, Auth0) or requires deep customization.
  • You’re building a monolithic auth system and prefer full control over integrations.

How to Pitch It (Stakeholders)

For Executives: "This package lets us leverage WorkOS’s enterprise-grade SSO and directory sync—without building it ourselves. For $X in dev time, we get HIPAA/SOC 2-ready auth, reducing customer onboarding friction by 40%. It’s a drop-in for Laravel apps using Jetstream/Breeze, so we can ship faster while meeting compliance needs."

For Engineering: *"The laravel/workos package wraps WorkOS AuthKit’s OAuth/SCIM APIs into Laravel-friendly utilities. It handles:

• SSO: One-click ‘Login with WorkOS’ for B2B customers.
• Directory Sync: Auto-provision users from WorkOS to your app.
• MFA: Enforce multi-factor auth via WorkOS policies. No need to reverse-engineer WorkOS’s docs—just integrate the package and configure your WorkOS dashboard. Best for teams already using Laravel starter kits."*
