Cloud Identity Platform

Cloud Identity Platform is another authentication service in the Google Cloud ecosystem but whereas Cloud Identity was an IDaaS platform, Cloud Identity Platform is a Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) system, which means it can also be used to manage the identities of customers and business partners, along with developers and other team members.

Identity Platform is a self-sufficient service in that it has identity and access management capabilities built in and does not need to be used in tandem with Cloud IAM or Cloud Identity, although it can be. It has powerful and flexible authentication features that give users the option to sign up and sign in. You can also use it with the most popular app (Android, iOS, and the web) and admin SDKs (Node.js, Java, Python, and so on).
