[keycloak-dev] Storage SPI: Users, Clients, and ?

[Pedro Igor Silva]

Hi Justin,

Personally, I think that having a single and multi-purpose SPI can lead to
a much more complex and full of hacks to address the different requirements
when integrating with different sources and data. In any case, I would
suggest you to start a design document and send a PR to
https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak-community. So we can understand better
your proposal and discuss it.

Regards.
Pedro Igor
