OpenFGA (Open Fine-Grained Authorization) is a CNCF sandbox project designed to provide scalable, fine-grained access control for applications. It is based on the Zanzibar model, originally developed by Google, which offers flexible and expressive policy management. Developers might prefer OpenFGA over other authorization solutions due to its ability to handle complex relationships and permissions with high performance and low latency, making it suitable for large-scale, real-time systems. In this episode, we'll do a deep dive on OpenFGA to help identerati understand the current state and future promise.
