Overview

Credo is database-agnostic by design.

Instead of locking you into MongoDB, Mongoose, Prisma, or SQL, Credo uses CRUD adapters — small objects that define how data is stored and retrieved.

You bring your database.
Credo brings the authentication logic.

Why CRUD Adapters Exist​

  • No ORM lock-in
  • Works with MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, or anything else
  • Full control over queries and performance
  • Easy to test and mock

Credo never calls your database directly.
It only calls the functions you provide.

Adapter Structure​

Each adapter is grouped by feature:

crud: {
  user: UserAdapter,
  refreshToken: RefreshTokenAdapter,
  otp: OTPAdapter
}
