permify

ce project to eliminate the authorization burden for devs. It’s Permify, an Authorization-as-a-Service to help developers build and manage their authorization in a scalable, secure, and extendable manner. And last week, we released the first major version (v1.0.0) of it! Here is how Permify helps you handle authorization. - Centralize & Standardize Your Authorization: Abstract your authorization logic from your codebase and application logic to easily reason, test, and debug your authorization. Treat your authorization as a sole entity and move faster within your core development. - Build Granular Permissions For Any Case You Have: You can create granular (resource-specific, hierarchical, context aware, etc) permissions and policies using Permify’s domain specific language that is compatible with RBAC, ReBAC and ABAC. - Set Custom Authorization For Your Tenants: Set up isolated authorization logic and custom permissions for your vendors/organizations (tenants) and manage them in a single place. - Scale Your Authorization As You Wish: Achieve lightning-fast response times down to 10ms for access checks with a proven infrastructure inspired by Google Zanzibar, Google’s Consistent, Global Authorization System. Try it out and send any feedback our way!

help model authorization logic programmatically. You can see what it looks like with sample examples in our playground: https://play.permify.co/ Although our domain specific language helps our users significantly, the general idea of policy generation is hard challenging if you have complex authorization logic and versatile permission requirements. Additionally, the flexibility of our modeling language allows for achieving the same policy/permissions through various approaches. But creating the best possible policy is crucial for several reasons including the performance of access checks, the readability of the authorization logic, visibility, and achieving least privilege, etc. When we tallied up all those reasons, it hit us: using AI could really smooth out the policy generation process. It could not only reduce the engineering effort but also yield the best possible results. That's why we integrated Groq to make to create Permify AI! Would love to get your feedback on this!

github.com/Permify/permify It's exciting to see so much movement, yet also sad that so many companies are brewing their own beer instead of working collaborative on the more succesful projects. Feels like we'll just end up with one or two successful projects (looking at Ory / Auth0 here) with the rest perishing. I'm wondering if there truly is a business model for just this permission system as a saas service (looks like this is what everyone is going with). Here I'm giving Auth0 probably the biggest plus as they have an established identity service. Then again, Okta (parent of Auth0) and Auth0 themselves are not particularly known for good business practices that we usually expect from developer tooling. What's refreshing though with Permify is that they are trying a bit of a different approach to Zanzibar!
