We're pleased to introduce you to the official SpiceDB mascot – the Muad'dib, or Dibs for short. As we prepare for KubeCon + CloudNativeCon EU in London, we're unveiling this distinctive character who will represent our project in meaningful ways.
Why a Muad'dib?
The name "Muad'dib" continues our tradition of referencing Frank Herbert's Dune series. For those unfamiliar with Dune, the Muad'dib is a small desert mouse known for its resilience and adaptability—qualities we strive to incorporate into SpiceDB.
With its distinctive oversized ears and agile movements, the Muad'dib is far more than just a charming emblem. In the unforgiving desert, every step matters, and this remarkable creature's fast, efficient navigation mirrors how SpiceDB processes complex data in real time. Those attentive ears serve as a reminder to remain vigilant and responsive, embodying survival instincts honed in the harshest environments.
Much like SpiceDB's approach to authorization challenges, the Muad'dib transforms obstacles into opportunities. This desert-dwelling creature represents our commitment to resilience, speed, and a collaborative spirit – all values that drive SpiceDB forward in the cloud-native ecosystem.
