Welcome @bekacru to Vercel. It's a privilege to join forces with Bereket and Better Auth to further our Open SDK vision. Developers deserve better auth, to serve humans and agents, built in the open and with taste. That's what Bereket has accomplished. Congrats! 🇪🇹🇺🇸 https://twitter.com/vercel/status/2074522635908853978

Congrats @bekacru & @better_auth. Backing Bereket was one of the easiest decisions we’ve made - rare to find someone who ships that fast and cares that much. Excited to see what you build at @vercel. Hope we get to do it again one day. https://twitter.com/bekacru/status/2074523837618663801
