Open Source, Google Zanzibar-inspired permissions database to enable fine-grained access control for customer applications
What is SpiceDB?
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 web¹. With SpiceDB, developers finally have the solution to stopping this threat the same way as the hyperscalers.
Why SpiceDB?
World-class engineering²: painstakingly built by experts that pioneered the cloud-native ecosystem
Authentic design³: mature and feature-complete implementation of Google's Zanzibar paper
Proven in production⁴: 5ms p95 when scaled to millions of queries/s, billions of relationships
Global consistency⁵: consistency configured per-request unlocks correctness while maintaining performance
Multi-paradigm⁶: caveated relationships combine the best concepts in authorization: ABAC & ReBAC
Safety in tooling⁷: designs schemas with real-time validation or validate in your CI/CD workflow
Reverse Indexes⁸: queries for "What can subject do?", "Who can access resource?"
