Ever spent 30 minutes setting up Keycloak…
Just to test a login button that takes 3 seconds?
Yeah, same.
I got tired of:
- Spinning up Docker
- Configuring realms, users, roles, and clients
- Forgetting a redirect URI (again)
- Doing it all over tomorrow
So I built KeycloakKit — a one-click, disposable playground for testing auth flows without touching infrastructure.
👨💻 Why I Built It
- I wanted to test a login — not manage an identity platform
- I wanted a realm in 5 seconds, not 5 terminals
- I wanted to focus on shipping, not spinning up
🧪 What KeycloakKit Does
✅ Spins up a ready-to-test Keycloak realm
✅ Comes preloaded with users, roles, clients
✅ JWT token viewer + copy support
✅ Export realm.json or Docker config
✅ Resets every 24 hours
✅ No login required
✅ Free to use → https://keycloakkit.com
🔥 Who It’s For
- Frontend devs building login screens
- QA teams testing user access & tokens
- Backend devs prototyping OAuth flows
- Solo builders & SaaS founders validating MVPs
- Anyone learning how real-world auth works — without Docker
🤯 What I Learned After Launch

Got 17K views, 0 comments. Thought I flopped.
Then came 8 signups. Silent.
Then a DM:
“This is exactly what I needed. I’d pay for this.”
Now I know —
🧠 Devs don’t always talk. But they test.
🧠 Your Turn
If you’ve ever said:
“I just want to test this and move on.”
This was made for you.
Would love your thoughts:
What would make this a tool you’d use in every sprint?
Let’s make auth testing suck less — together.
