We kicked off the AuthZed Supper Club series this week where Kelsey Hightower led a conversation about modern authorization. We are taking the Supper Club on the road and will be in the Bay Area the week of March 17th. Reach out if you are interested in joining us then!

* Consistency Checking * Durable Execution Environments * Transaction Outbox Pattern If these terms piqued your interest then here's your weekend watch: Our deep-dive on solving the dual-write problem in distributed systems featuring Tanner Stirrat. https://lnkd.in/gJhq3H5F

The dual-write problem presents itself in all distributed systems. A system that uses SpiceDB for authorization and also has an application database (read: most of them) is a distributed system. Working around the dual-write problem typically requires a non-trivial amount of work and this stream will discuss the different approaches to do so.

How do you solve the dual-write problem in distributed systems? 🤔 The dual-write problem presents itself in all distributed systems. A system that uses SpiceDB for authorization and also has an application database is a distributed system. Working around the dual-write problem typically requires a non-trivial amount of work, so we're dedicating a full livestream to discuss how to solve this problem. It's Office Hours format so we'd love to hear your approaches as well https://lnkd.in/gHKzwUX7

📝 We'd love your feedback on a preview feature 📝 Couple of weeks ago, we released composable schemas in preview mode. As the name suggests, this feature now enables you to write your schemas into different parts and compile them together. There are now three new pieces of syntax: 1. import statements 2. partial declarations 3. partial references. We think composable schemas opens up a world of possibilities while building your Permissions systems. The documentation link is in the comments. Do send us your feedback over on Github or Discord.

We have a winner of the Dune lego set raffle at DeveloperWeek! Thanks to Herewith for stopping by and being fellow Dune fans.

💑 Managing too many relationships? Maybe it’s best to let some of them expire… 💑 SpiceDB makes it easier to let them go and the AuthZed team sends emotional support with our handpicked playlist for just the occasion: https://hubs.li/Q036CGBp0

Lets talk about Expiring Relationships before Valentine's Day 💔 You can now define a lifespan for relationships in schema, preventing unintended access through lingering permissions. Relationship expiration terms can also be dynamically defined by application end users, providing them with even more granular control over how they choose to share data. Office Hours format, so bring any questions you have.

What do we mean by first class support for expiring relationships in SpiceDB? What are relationship traits and why did we build them? How can you try it out? Jimmy explains it all in his latest blog post: https://hubs.li/Q036CB-q0

💔 Some relationships shouldn’t last forever… especially in your permissions system 💔 Now announcing first class support for Expiring Relationships in SpiceDB! Learn why you should be building time-bound permissions at scale: https://hubs.li/Q036CDHy0
