Oktane 2022: Building An Identity Platform Using Okta For Healthcare Applications - Ashwini Desai
Channel: OktaDev
Date: 15/12/2022

Ashwini Mutalik Desai was selected as an Oktane 22 speaker, but was unable to attend. We asked her to record a video of her presentation, and she gladly obliged. We hope you learn something from it!

Medly being a digital pharmacy, has multiple B2B and B2C applications for daily use. As part of platform, they wanted to build tooling and abstractions for product teams to standardize the Identity and Access management. This video walks through their experiences in building this engineer friendly, secure and compliant platform using Okta. 

In this video, Ashwini Mutalik Desai shows how Medly created abstractions on top of the Okta API, how they created SDKs for backend services, and React hooks libraries for frontend applications for a good Developer Experience. These abstractions have security and compliance requirements baked in, have consistent delivery pipelines across products. 

By end of this talk, you will learn: 

1. How to leverage Okta and multiple auth servers for healthcare applications. 
2. How to create abstractions on top of Okta which everybody loves because of it's flexibility and robustness. 
3. How to bake security and compliance into your platform tooling. 
4. Detect outlier applications in your product organisations which are not following standard practices.
