Apache-2.0 is the listed open-source license in the public project materials.
Dex
Open-source identity service that brokers authentication to OIDC-compatible applications.
82Good
Where it fits
Kubernetes and platform teams that need a lightweight self-hosted identity bridge for internal tools.
Watch points
It is intentionally narrow, so user lifecycle management and policy controls often live elsewhere.
Score breakdown
Dex has public source and self-managed deployment paths; score reflects the expected operating footprint for identity.
A self-hosted deployment keeps primary data under operator control, with migration and backup quality depending on the deployment design.
Privacy posture depends on configuration, telemetry, retention, and integration choices documented or implied by the public project materials.
The project exposes standard web, API, protocol, or integration surfaces appropriate to identity.
The score reflects maintenance burden, release maturity, and the operational complexity implied by running this class of software.
It can be deployed in an EU-controlled environment; procurement fit still depends on support, contracts, accessibility, and hosting choices.
Ownership and development are publicly visible through the linked project materials, but governance depth should be reviewed before procurement.
Review notes
Seed listing for the Sovereign Web Stack catalog. Treat this score as an evidence-backed starting point: contributors should improve it with more specific public links, deployment notes, security posture, export documentation, and governance evidence as the index matures.
Methodology note
This project is scored against the public Sovereign Web Stack methodology. Review the full scoring model before comparing tools across categories.
