OpenAI wanted a partner that could help enable our vision for owning our identity processes, data, and success. We have a lot of partners, and Ory is one of our best.
Frequently asked questions
Why should I choose the joint solution from Ory and Skyfire?
This collaboration enables AI agents to programmatically create accounts, verify identity, and complete payments using Skyfire, all within established OAuth2 and OpenID Connect (OIDC) protocols powered by Ory. By building on existing standards, this integration ensures that developers can work with AI agents without adding complexity to their identity infrastructure or compromising on security and compliance.
Can I run Ory in a multi-region or hybrid cloud setup?
Yes. Ory is designed to be cloud-agnostic and distributed. You can deploy Ory services across regions, availability zones, or even cloud providers to meet latency, compliance, and disaster recovery goals.
What happens during a region or node failure?
CockroachDB automatically handles failovers and replicates data across regions. Ory services are stateless and handle transient errors gracefully with safe retries. This means your identity flows including logins, token issuance, and user management continue to work reliably even under infrastructure stress.
Can I migrate from Ory self-hosted to the Ory Network?
Yes, the Ory Network provides APIs that are fully compatible with self-hosted APIs. Our Ory CLI supports migrating your Open Source configurations to the Ory Network, and Ory Network APIs additionally support importing the data. If you need dedicated help with migration, please reach out to us.
