As programmers, many of us got indoctrinated into ideas like “Convention over Configuration” and “Provide Sharp Knives” early on. But authorization – a problem as old as software and one that’s core to no one’s domain – is still anything but magical.
Graham Neray (cofounder/CEO of Oso) is on an epic quest for programmable authorization, and thinks we can learn a thing or two from web frameworks when building authorization systems.
During this tech talk, Graham will covered:
- Why an authorization system needs to be opinionated but flexible
- Why it’s a tricky balance to achieve
- And what happens if you get it right
We also had:
- A Polar policy puzzle led by Product Leader, Jed Gresham
- A demo on Oso Cloud by Sam Scott
- A demo by Oso engineer, Jesse Lax
- And a Q&A session
It was great having you there 🐻.
