Authorization That Scales
Achieve lightning-fast response times for access checks powered by a Permission Database design inspired by Google Zanzibar, Google’s consistent, global authorization system.
Blazing fast access checks
Achieve lightning-fast response times down to 10ms for access control checks, thanks to our parallel graph engine and various cache mechanisms that we operate.
