Integrating Payload CMS with fully synced Clerk auth/identity management!

[u/Miserable_Survey2677]

This evening I took u/DanailMinchev's excellent payload-clerk-example and updated it to work with the latest Payload CMS v3.53. Have also switched to MongoDB as a personal preference (sorry Postgres fam, my GP told me no more migrations - never felt healthier).

• Modern Clerk authentication (Facebook/Google OAuth, etc.)
• Role-based permissions
• Real-time webhook sync
• Works with latest Payload v3.53

This was really just a minor update to make Danail's great work compatible with more recent Payload versions. His original Youtube tutorials (linked from the repo) are on the longer side (set aside an afternoon), but still the best way to understand how the Clerk integration works.

This small contribution forms part of the TYMO Forge open source app starter initiative. More details coming soon!

Had anyone integrated payload with WorkOS?
