In this talk, we will walk through the architecture and implementation of SpiceDB, an open-source permissions database. As an implementation of Google’s Zanzibar (the singular global-scale authorization service that powers permissions and sharing across all Google properties) paper, he will focus heavily on facets of the database that allow it to run highly scalably, with low latency and incredible reliability. He will also cover some of the innovations that have made the database service easier to understand and consume.

This talk is part of the Vaccination Database (Booster) Tech Talk Seminar Series.
