Solving The Never-Ending Requirements of Authorization

About the talk

Implementing access controls in your application can be a never-ending task as business requirements change. What begins as a simple check to see if the user's email is from your own domain name turns into a complex web of if/else statements to determine who can do what. Coming up with a scalable, manageable, and maintainable authorization process is key to meeting evolving requirements as your business scales.

This talk will cover

  • Different areas of consideration when implementing permissions.
  • Common stages in the evolution of a company where authorization needs to fundamentally change.
  • Example of how to take a gitops-based approach to scale policy.
