I launched a side project that allows you to run your customer's code from your app: https://www.lateral.run

I went back-and-forth at first on whether now's the time to launch a commercial side project like this, but with some uncertainty about the security of my VC-backed day job, I settled on this being precisely the time to have something of my own going.

Nice! This looks like Auth0 Extend (https://goextend.io/). But that has now been retired.

I might need something like this soon. I'll keep this in mind - certainly will save lots of time over rolling my own ...

That was exactly the inspiration, in fact. I've integrated Auth0 a few times and enjoyed the ability to drop down into code to tailor logic precisely to my needs.
