Introducing Okta Journeys: A Better Way for Developers to Learn Identity

Summary

Okta has introduced Journeys, a task-oriented documentation format designed to streamline how developers learn and implement identity management. Rather than requiring engineers to manually assemble information across disparate guides, articles, and API references, each Journey provides an end-to-end curriculum for a specific project. Content is organized into three distinct phases: foundational knowledge in Learn, architectural decision-making in Plan, and curated implementation steps in Build. The initial release includes six Journeys aimed at Okta Customer Identity builders who are implementing authentication, registration, branding, and user management. Future additions will address AI agent governance, integrations for the Okta Integration Network, and migrations from the Classic Engine to the Okta Identity Engine.
