#### 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`?"
