AuthZed August 2026 Release

This release cycle is about correctness in SpiceDB, with fixes across MemDB, Postgres read replicas, and datastore readiness, plus a redaction fix in the Zed CLI and OpenFGA migration support in the spicedb-dev AI agent plugin.

SpiceDB

Reliability Fixes (v1.56.1)

  • Postgres read replicas: no more intermittent object definition not found errors under load. When a replica hasn't caught up, SpiceDB now reads from the primary instead.
  • MemDB consistency: the in-memory datastore, commonly used for testing, now reliably returns your own writes when writes overlap.
  • Efficiency: schemas with caveats use less memory, and ReadRelationships calls with a limit do less unnecessary work.
  • Health checks: readiness checks now respond promptly on every datastore.

Zed CLI

Redaction Fix (v1.2.1)

zed backup redact now redacts relation names used in .any() and .all() arrow expressions. Previously these were left unredacted. If you've shared redacted backups of schemas that use these operators, regenerate them with v1.2.1.

Developer Tools

OpenFGA Migration in the spicedb-dev Plugin

The spicedb-dev plugin for AI coding agents can now help migrate an existing OpenFGA deployment onto SpiceDB. Install it from the AuthZed marketplace.
