What Authpipe handles for Buffer

OAuth Orchestration

PKCE, state validation, callback handling, and provider-specific quirks — all automatic.

Encrypted Vault

AES-256-GCM encryption with per-tenant key isolation. OAuth tokens, API keys, and webhook secrets — never exposed to the frontend.

Silent Refresh

Proactive token refresh before expiry. SDK returns from local cache with zero latency.

Health Monitoring

Scheduled checks detect revoked tokens and expired credentials before users notice.
