Even though I would really implement authentication myself, I think OAuth2 with external providers is the best bet. Especially because my reasoning is privacy, which most people just don't care about enough. Using this approach, adding in a keycloak is possible without breaking changes at a later point, as long as I keep the Google Sign In.
### Email
For Email verification, etc. a mail server is needed, that can send a whole lot of mails. Aditionally, a mail account is needed for incoming mails. I thought about self hosting, but unfortunatly this is a hastle to maintain. Not only you have to setup a mail server, which is not as easy as it sounds, you also have to "register" your mail server for diffrent providers. Otherwise you are not able to send and receive emails. Thus, the first external service is needed.
In order to not vendor lock in, I decided to use an SMTP relay in favor of a vendor specific API. You are free to choose a transactional mail provider. I chose brevo.com. They have a generous free tier of 300 mails per day. You can either upgrade to a monthly plan 10$ for 20k mails or buy credits for 30$ for 5k mails. Most provider provide 100 mails / day for free.
