Product design question

Lovable is building a multi-tenant identity service for millions of generated apps. What is the smallest MVP of authentication and authorization primitives you would ship in the first 6 months, which users would it serve first, and what would you explicitly defer to move fast without limiting the long-term platform?

Practice this question out loud. An AI interviewer asks it, follows up like a real interviewer would, and scores your answer. Type or speak.

What this question tests

Tests ability to scope a minimal but non limiting identity platform MVP for a fast moving AI app generation product.

How to approach it

  1. Clarify who the first users actually are, likely solo builders shipping their first generated app rather than large enterprises.
  2. Define the smallest primitive set that unblocks real usage, for example email and social login plus basic session and simple roles.
  3. Explicitly defer what enterprise or multi tenant scenarios would need, such as SCIM or fine grained delegated access, without designing them out.
  4. Design the data model so tenancy and permissions extend later, scoping every record to an app and account even with one role at launch.
  5. Set a six month checkpoint metric, such as share of generated apps actively using the identity service.
