Database Adapters
gau can work with any database, though currently no databases are supported directly.
It’s adviced to use an ORM, which abstracts the database away. gau currently only supports Drizzle and the SQLite driver.
The createAuth function not only sets up your authentication logic but also returns a set of database methods from your adapter, allowing you to interact with your user data directly.
