Clerk authentication wired into your app, production ready
Sign-in, sign-up, and protected routes set up right the first time.
Auth is the part of the build that looks like a two hour job and quietly eats two weeks. Session edge cases, middleware that redirects in a loop, webhooks that never fire in production, users in Clerk who do not exist in your database. I set it up so none of that lands on you.
I have shipped Clerk in production on multi-tenant SaaS apps, including role-gated dashboards, organization based access, and user records kept in sync with Supabase. You get a working sign-in flow, protected routes that actually stay protected, and a clear map of where your user data lives.
What you get
- ✓Clerk installed and configured in your app, dev and production instances
- ✓Sign-in, sign-up, and user profile flows using Clerk components, styled to match your brand
- ✓Route protection on both pages and API routes, so a missing session cannot leak data
- ✓Server side session validation in every API handler, not just a client side check
- ✓Production setup done properly: custom domain, DNS records, redirect URLs, environment variables verified in your host
- ✓A short handoff doc covering what was configured and how to change it
How it works
- 1You share repo access and tell me what "logged in" needs to mean in your product.
- 2I set up Clerk on a branch, wire the flows, and deploy to a preview environment.
- 3You click through the preview and tell me what to adjust.
- 4I merge, cut over production, and confirm a real sign-in end to end.

Questions
Do I need a paid Clerk plan?
No. Everything in Starter and Standard works on Clerk's free tier. Organizations and SAML SSO in the Advanced tier need a paid Clerk plan, billed by Clerk directly, not by me.
Which frameworks do you support?
Next.js App Router is where I do most of this work. Also Next.js Pages Router, React with Vite, Remix, and Express or Node API backends. Ask before ordering if you are on something else.
Can you migrate my existing users?
Yes, though that is its own project rather than part of this one, since a cutover needs a rollback plan and a user import. Password hashes carry over from most sources, so your users keep their existing passwords. See the auth migration offer for details.
Will my sign-in screens look like everyone else's?
No. Clerk's components take full styling control, so they match your brand. If you want something entirely custom, the Clerk Elements add-on builds the page from scratch.
What do you need from me to start?
Repo access, a Clerk account with me invited, access to your host's environment variables (Vercel, Netlify, or wherever you deploy), and one sentence on what a logged in user should be able to do that a logged out user cannot.
