How is Google Zanzibar so fast? I'll give you a hint: The Leopard indexing system If things like denormalization and set theory interest you, then watch this video on the genius design of Google Leopard 👉 youtu.be/Zb_Q7_ZZSjc

You can give time-bound access to your DevOps Agent, especially when it comes to access sensitive resources like your production server. It's actually super easy with ReBAC and SpiceDB. Check it out

The New Enemy problem was first described in the Google Zanzibar paper and might be the key to keeping your app data safe. If you're interested in permissions and security, you NEED to know about this. #security #authorization

Are app permissions important to you? Then you should know about the New Enemy problem, and how to prevent it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Luoa...

We updated our 'Timeline of Model Context Protocol (MCP) Breaches' post to include the latest security breaches form this year. Read more about why it happened, what data was exposed, and what they reveal about the new threat surface LLMs bring into organizations. authzed.com/blog/timelin...

Our Open Source engineer Maria is on livestream talking about building zed, the official CLI for SpiceDB. We'll explore how zed is built, the design decisions that shape it, and how it powers developer workflows for SpiceDB users. Join here in four minutes: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBEc...

Learn how to build a production-grade Agentic RAG system on AuthZed Cloud, where authorization is hardcoded into the LangGraph pipeline—not a prompt instruction the agent can skip. Check it out:

Your RAG pipeline works… until it shows a user data they shouldn’t see. Learn how to enforce permissions, safely post-filter RAG results, and test the whole flow end-to-end with Testcontainers, while using SpiceDB, the same system OpenAI uses to secure 37B docs for 5M users: https://bit.ly/3ZwdyaB

I've posted my latest recap of the world of databases: www.cs.cmu.edu/~pavlo/blog/... All the hot topics from the last year: • More Postgres action! • MCP for everyone! • MongoDB gets litigious with FerretDB! • File formats! • Market movements! • The richest person in the history of the world!

How do you know what a user is allowed to access in a RAG system? If you're building a RAG pipeline, it's important to think of access control. Here's a primer on building fine-grained authZ in a RAG using Pinecone as your vector database and the OpenAI LLM. www.pinecone.io/learn/rag-ac...

There's been so many high-profile data breaches in Model Context Protocol (MCP) this past year including WhatsApp, Anthropic, GitHub, Asana & more. Here's a timeline of breaches with a description of why it happened, & some patterns we're seeing across these incidents authzed.com/blog/timelin...

Oldie but a Goodie from @authzed.com introducing the concepts of ReBAC (Relationship-Based Access Control). Conway's law is reversed w.r.t.&i.e. LDAP, ReBAC fixes that > we can build systems that mimic the way people naturally organize their world to be most effective authzed.com/blog/explori...
