Access control is one of the most critical aspects of software and is also one of the most complex. At the Open Source Summit (Vancouver), AWS open-sourced its policy engine, Cedar, providing opportunities for the community to create better software. Permit.io has become one of the first companies to offer support for Cedar to help simplify the complexity of access control for developers.

In this episode of TFiR: Let’s Talk, Swapnil Bhartiya catches up with Gabriel L. Manor, Director of DevRel at Permit.io while at Open Source Summit in Vancouver. They discuss AWS’s decision to open-source Cedar and the current trends in policy and access control. He goes on to explain how Permit.io is helping customers deploy policies at scale using Cedar and other policy engines.
