Permify Now Supports Attribute-Based Access Control
Hey Everyone, Almost year ago we launched Permify an open-source authorization service to build fine-grained and scalable user permissions and access control systems over here(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32096610) My co-founders and I had a enterprise solution agency where we worked with a bunch of fortune 500 companies. Each projects we made we have to re-invent the wheel for access control and authorization.

In plain words
Permify is an open-source authorization service that enables developers to build fine-grained, scalable access control systems. It's designed for platform engineers and architects working on enterprise applications who need a centralized solution for managing user permissions.

Hey Everyone, Almost year ago we launched Permify an open-source authorization service to build fine-grained and scalable user permissions and access control systems over here(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32096610) My co-founders and I had a enterprise solution agency where we worked with a bunch of fortune 500 companies. Each projects we made we have to re-invent the wheel for access control and authorization. Not having a easy to integrate, scalable and a granular system that can fulfill the requirements of these enterprise companies was a pain in the ass for us. As well as, platform engineers and software architects in these teams as well. So, we start working on a centralized authorization piece which makes authorization less scary for these architects. We learned a lot from google-zanzibar, OPA, and XACML. Yet we wanted make Permify unique. Permify become a true ReBAC system where you can create a structured authorization logic. But there was a missing piece in which makes you build attribute based access rights such as based on date, number of times, amount of money, etc. Today we are launching that piece with Permify ABAC. We would love to get your feedback on this!!! Feel free roast or toast :)
