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.
Sam Scott (cofounder/CTO 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, Sam will explain:
- 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.
He’ll also demo Oso Cloud, a batteries-included authorization system we’ve built for application authorization.
Stay for a technical Q&A, demos from Oso engineers, special swag, and a Polar policy puzzle (there will be prizes).
See you there .
