summary

Prezi replaces an 11‑year custom auth fork with the framework‑independent Python Social Auth (social-core), migrating Google and Facebook logins, handling ~170 backends, and moving sessions to cloud RDS so the system scales horizontally and vertically. Engineering builds an association flow that verifies and links existing accounts using email verification and association flow with deep linking, handles Facebook phone‑only signups, fixes security bugs upstream, and ships a working, maintainable pipeline.
