How Google handles Authorization at scale

Managing authorization for applications with billions of users requires a highly scalable and efficient system. Google’s Zanzibar has become a benchmark for large-scale permission management, but is building a system like Zanzibar the best solution for your needs?‍

Oso Developer Experience Engineers, Hazal Mestci and Greg Sarjeant, discussed:

• Google Zanzibar’s architecture and how its Relationship-Based Access Control (ReBAC) model powers large-scale authorization.
• The key challenges and trade-offs in building a system like Zanzibar, and how it compares to Oso’s approach.
• How to implement authorization using Oso’s authorization service.
