When products scale at unprecedented speed, identity infrastructure becomes mission-critical. For OpenAI, rapid global adoption of ChatGPT meant rethinking how authentication, authorisation, and access control could scale securely—without compromising user experience.
To support hundreds of millions of users worldwide, OpenAI adopted a modern IAM architecture built on Ory and Cockroach Labs.
This cloud-native CIAM stack delivers the resilience, performance, and observability required to handle thousands of logins per second while maintaining always-on availability.
By combining Ory’s flexible, self-hosted identity platform with CockroachDB’s globally distributed SQL database, OpenAI gained greater control over its IAM stack, improved login experiences, and the ability to scale securely across regions. The result is an identity foundation designed not just for growth—but for confidence at scale.
