Implementation Notes

04 / Code Excerpt

Better Auth Integration

The application uses the modern better-auth library for secure authentication, providing a robust session-based login system out of the box.

import { betterAuth } from "better-auth";
import { prismaAdapter } from "better-auth/adapters/prisma";
import prisma from "@/lib/prisma";

export const auth = betterAuth({
    database: prismaAdapter(prisma, {
        provider: "postgresql", 
    }),
    emailAndPassword: {
        enabled: true,
        autoSignIn: false,
    },
});

Neon Database & Prisma

By utilizing @neondatabase/serverless alongside Prisma's driver adapters, the application achieves extremely fast database connections in a serverless environment, drastically reducing cold start latency.
