Today we’re announcing the open sourcing of spicedb-operator - a Kubernetes operator for installing, upgrading, and maintaining SpiceDB clusters on Kubernetes.

It is my absolute pleasure to announce today that Authzed has joined the Cloud Native Computing Foundation and Linux Foundation.

When you send a query to SpiceDB, our distributed authorization database, it will often choose to dispatch to other nodes in the cluster that are more likely to have results for subqueries already cached.

SpiceDB is the most comprehensive open source implementation of Google’s Zanzibar paper outside of Google itself.

SpiceDB is a database designed to store relationships and compute authorization decisions.

SpiceDB is the open-source Zanzibar implementation that drives Authzed, and it’s important that it provide all the guarantees that are described by the Zanzibar paper - one such property (oft overlooked by other descriptions or implementations of Zanzibar) is protection against the New Enemy problem.

Today we’re open sourcing SpiceDB v1.0.0 - our production-ready implementation of Google’s Zanzibar paper.

Today, we’re open sourcing prom-authzed-proxy! prom-authzed-proxy is a proxy for Prometheus that authorizes the request’s Bearer Token with Authzed and enforces a label in a PromQL query.

Human beings innately react to movement: Our eyes are finely tuned to changes in the environment around us, immediately focusing our attention on differences and making the details of the moving objects far more memorable.
