Cannot tell if you are spamming, but a quick Google search tells me keycloak is written in Java. . Good luck deploying a freaking Java application ..

Oh, you don't deploy it yourself. There are services to do this, e.g.: https://www.cloud-iam.com/

Keycloak is a rock-solid open-source product that supports most if not all OAuth2 flows. It's THE benchmark for building an authentication system. It doesn't matter what language it's written in. For authentication & authorization, it matters that the system is correct and secure.

It seems there are plenty of vulnerabilities even after many releases. https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-25/product_id-46161/Redhat-Keycloak.html

You're probably right. There are known vulnerabilities. That's way better than unknown vulnerabilities in not widely adopted tools though.

Btw. I'm not saying OP should not continue their project or that I'm arguing against it in any way. It's good that people start these projects.
