Set active org on login
I want each user to always have one active org set when they log inn, no user should ever find themselves without an active org. Docs at https://www.better-auth.com/docs/plugins/organization indicate that I can use a database hook to achive this 
export const auth = betterAuth({
  databaseHooks: {
      session: {
          create: {
              before: async(session)=>{
                  const organization = await getActiveOrganization(session.userId)
                  return {
                    data: {
                      ...session,
                      activeOrganizationId: organization.id
                    }
                  }
              }
          }
      }
  }
})
export const auth = betterAuth({
  databaseHooks: {
      session: {
          create: {
              before: async(session)=>{
                  const organization = await getActiveOrganization(session.userId)
                  return {
                    data: {
                      ...session,
                      activeOrganizationId: organization.id
                    }
                  }
              }
          }
      }
  }
})
My question is, is getActiveOrganization somehow an already made function? It seems to not exist and not work, so would I have to to create this function myself? And what benefits would I get from doing it as DB hooks instead of adding it to my login flow code? Thi seems to take in session.userId so presumably I'd have to write all the code I'd need to write anywhere else to set an active org.

How to securely host a pg DB for better auth
I have a server I want to host Postgress for Better Auth. The internet keeps telling me "Don't expose your DB to the internet", but my website is on Vercel; which is on the internet. I could expose my Postgress LXC-container to the internet, but that seems like bad practice. I could proxy the requests with something like Nginx, but I fail to see how that would improve the security, the requests are just proxied. Something like PostgREST seems to securely expose the DB to the internet, but it dosen't seem like Better Auth would work with PostgREST I just need a way to connect the DB on my own server to vercel for auth, but for some reason this seems very complicated. Or I'm just not getting something 😅

Using Kysely with better auth
The docs seem to indicate that better auth ships with Kysely, but I can't figure out how to use it. I can install and set up Kysely from scratch probably, but it seems like Kysely should somehow already be usable and configured. How would I use it? I need to query for my organizations.

Zod with types from Supabase type gen
Trying to use types from supabase typegen with Zod, but I can't figure out how. They supabase docs use this weird syntax for getting the data. My current attempt 
type TaaS = Database['public']['Tables']['taas']['Row']

const Props = z.object({
  user: User,
  profile: Profile,
  audits: Audit,
  taas: z.array(TaaS), <- This fails
});
type TaaS = Database['public']['Tables']['taas']['Row']

const Props = z.object({
  user: User,
  profile: Profile,
  audits: Audit,
  taas: z.array(TaaS), <- This fails
});
Any ideas on how I can fix this 🤔

Recommendations for auth setup
I've been rolling Auth0 with the nextjs library for Auth0. Now I need to do a full re-write of the site and I'm considering other auth options. Allot of auth0's features cost money, the admin UI is terrible and the login screen we get form auth0 could be more sexy Whatever happens I'm shifting to NextAuth, but what providers do you guys prefer? I want email+password login, about 10-20 users a month. O365/Google login would also be nice, but is not necessary. I don't mind self hosting, the most important part is a good DX and ability to store data about users (like what they should have access too) Been looking at self hosted supabase and just "pure" NextAuth with Postgres. People on reddit say Firebase is cool, but I don't know how much I trust google. And if supabase is what people like, next auth with supabase vs supabase SDK? So many choices ):

Type of return from await
getting a TS error stating "34:9 Error: Unsafe assignment of an any value." on my await in getServerSideProps. Tried to scour the docs for a solution but can't find anywhere where someone sets a type that works for me await. getAudit is a JS function, not TS (yet). Any ideas on how I should best solve this? 
export const getServerSideProps: GetServerSideProps = async (params) => {
  const audit= await getAudit(`/granskninger/${params.query.slug}`); //  34:9  Error: Unsafe assignment of an `any` value. + 34:48  Error: Invalid type "string | string[] | undefined" of template literal expression. 
  return {
    props: { audit }
  };
};
export const getServerSideProps: GetServerSideProps = async (params) => {
  const audit= await getAudit(`/granskninger/${params.query.slug}`); //  34:9  Error: Unsafe assignment of an `any` value. + 34:48  Error: Invalid type "string | string[] | undefined" of template literal expression. 
  return {
    props: { audit }
  };
};
I have the "correct" props for my render function in the page 
type Props = {
  audit: {
    content: {
      descendants: {  items: ContentProps[]; };
      id: string;
      level: number;
      name: string;

    };
  };
};
type Props = {
  audit: {
    content: {
      descendants: {  items: ContentProps[]; };
      id: string;
      level: number;
      name: string;

    };
  };
};

Types for an object passed as props
I run a map where I loop out content from a CMS 
type PureContentProps = {
  content: {
    descendants: {
      items: ContentProps; 
    }
  }
}

const AuditRenderer = ({ content }: PureContentProps ) => {
  const allContent = content.descendants?.items.map((allContent) => (
    <AuditConditionalRenderer allContent={allContent} />
  ));
 
type PureContentProps = {
  content: {
    descendants: {
      items: ContentProps; 
    }
  }
}

const AuditRenderer = ({ content }: PureContentProps ) => {
  const allContent = content.descendants?.items.map((allContent) => (
    <AuditConditionalRenderer allContent={allContent} />
  ));
Then I use this data in my component, it looks like this 
type ContentProps = {
    level: number; 
    name: string; 
    beskrivelse: string; 
    vurdering: string; 
    funn: string; 
}
const AuditConditionalRenderer = ({ allContent }: {allContent: ContentProps}) => {
type ContentProps = {
    level: number; 
    name: string; 
    beskrivelse: string; 
    vurdering: string; 
    funn: string; 
}
const AuditConditionalRenderer = ({ allContent }: {allContent: ContentProps}) => {
So I use the data in "items" I get from my CMS. Items are descirbed by ContentProps. How can I tell TS this? Currently getting an error on "allContent" in my map stating "Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'ContentProps'" Do I have to manually pass each value instead of sending everything as an object? Seems a bit cumbersom

When to use Zod?
I'v seen the youtube hype for Zod now, but it still unclear to me when I should actually use Zod. Most of the examples I find online use Zod for something like API-data or user input data (like forms). But I use TS for so much more (well try to any way, still learning 😉). Should I just forget that TS exists and use Zod for everything I used to do in TS or should I use TS when not dealing with API-data or user input?
