SpiceDB is a graph database purpose-built for storing and evaluating access control data. As of 2021, broken access control became the #1 threat to the web. With SpiceDB, developers finally have the solution to stopping this threat the same way as the hyperscalers. Open Source, Google Zanzibar-inspired permissions database to enable fine-grained access control for customer applications. Building modern authorization from scratch is non-trivial and requires years of development from domain experts. Until SpiceDB, the only developers with access to these workflows were employed by massive tech companies that could invest in building mature, but proprietary solutions. Now we have a community organized around sharing this technology so that the entire industry can benefit.
