Executive Summary

Many engineering and security teams are drowning in short‑lived preview URLs and programmatically created environments — each one needs controlled OAuth/OpenID redirects and token exchange, and current IdP configurations and manual whitelisting don’t scale for teams or AI agents. This creates operational friction, security gaps (stale redirect URIs, token leakage), and a high cognitive load for both developers and security/compliance teams. Build a dynamic redirect broker: a service that mints ephemeral, single‑use redirect endpoints tied to audited short‑lived tokens, integrates with major IdPs, exposes SDKs/CLI for agents and CI pipelines, and surfaces policy controls and logs in an enterprise console. The product would be API‑first so agents can programmatically request and rotate redirects while security teams retain visibility and enforcement. The market timing is strong — a reachable addressable market of roughly $2.4B (400K development teams × ~$6K ACV) driven by the proliferation of ephemeral environments, a rise in AI developer agents, and tightening IdP security requirements. You can stand out by solving this specific orchestration gap with enterprise‑grade auditing, low‑latency ephemeral redirects, and turnkey IdP integrations that minimize developer friction; the main challenges will be building robust multi‑IdP compatibility and navigating enterprise procurement and trust hurdles, but the revenue potential and initial competitive landscape make it worth validating with a focused pilot.

Market Opportunity

Secure ephemeral app auth for AI dev agents — dynamic redirect broker targets a $2.4B = 400K development teams × $6K ACV (enterprise/dev platform identity & preview tooling) total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 12% YoY — developer tools and cloud security growth (source: Gartner and IDC 2023-2024 market summaries).

Key trends driving demand: Proliferation of ephemeral environments — teams run preview apps per PR or task, creating many short‑lived URLs that need secure access.; Increase in AI developer agents — automation spawns environments programmatically, raising the scale of dynamic auth challenges.; Tightening IdP security — identity providers and enterprise security teams require stricter redirect and token controls, increasing demand for compliant solutions.; Edge and serverless adoption — low-latency edge functions make runtime brokers viable, enabling near-instant token exchange for previews..

Key competitors include Auth0 (Okta), Vercel, Cloudflare Access.
