Demo
From empty workspace to a working API key.
The question worth answering before you adopt anything is how much work is this. So here is the whole thing, uncut and in real time: signing in, creating an Application, minting a key, configuring auth, and proving it works. Forty-two seconds, no narration, nothing sped up.
What happens, in order
Sign in to the operator panel
One operator account, one workspace. No install step before this — the panel is part of the stack you already run.
Create an Application
Name, slug, environment. An Application is a self-contained pool of end users with its own auth config, keys and billing.
Mint a server API key
Shown exactly once, then only a SHA-256 hash is stored. In the recording the value is blurred — the panel itself shows it in full.
Configure auth and redirect URLs
Turn on email + password and magic link, add the callback URL your app returns to. Changes apply to new sign-ins immediately.
Prove it works
Three real calls with the key just minted: the Application resolves, an end user signs up, and their token comes back from /api/v1/auth/me.
How this recording is made
It is a scripted Playwright session driving a real Chromium against a real API and panel booted from this repository — not a screen capture and not a mockup. One command regenerates it from scratch: pnpm demo:record. The database it runs against is created for the recording and dropped afterwards.
That matters for two reasons. It can be re-cut in minutes when the panel changes, so it should not drift into showing a product that no longer exists. And because the stack is disposable and local, there is no way for a real customer's data or a live credential to end up in the frame — the API key on screen is blurred, and the workspace it belonged to no longer exists.
This is the Rekey side of the job. For the other side — what you type in your own project — the framework walkthroughs go from an empty directory to a working sign-in in Next.js, and to a token-protected route in NestJS.
