      The Clerk team has been hard at work shipping new features to help you build secure applications faster. Here’s a rundown of the highlights:
    
                
              
            
              
                
                  
      Introducing Custom OAuth Providers
    
                
              
            
              
                
                  
      
        
          
            
              
        
          
      
    
        
      
            
          
        
      
    
                
              
            
              
                
                  
      One of our most requested features is now available for all users: Custom OAuth Providers! Starting today, you can add any OpenID Connect (OIDC) compliant OAuth provider to your Clerk application.
    
                
              
            
              
                
                  
      
  
    
    Automatic configuration: Simply provide an OIDC Discovery Endpoint and we’ll take care of the rest.
    
  
  
    
                
              
            
              
                
                  
      
  
    
    Manual configuration: If the desired service does not have a Discovery Endpoint, you can configure the necessary values yourself.

      Our friends at Turso recently launched the Turso Per User Database Starter. It is an open-source boilerplate repository built with Next.js that uses Clerk to create isolated SQLite databases in Turso for each user who signs into the application.
    
                
              
            
              
                
                  
      Simply create a Turso database, configure a Clerk application, and launch it to Vercel!
