“Cockroach Labs scuttles away from open source Core offering” 😢 https://lnkd.in/d6EzCNPH

How many times do I need to say it? Open core is dead. There are so many examples of these painful U-turns, like the Hashicorp Terraform / OpenTofu fiasco.

Get with the times and do open-source right - with the open-foundation model. Read more about that through the link in the comments. ⤵

The use case of Maricopa County is a fascinating example of FGA implementation, and we at Permit.io learned a lot from it. Handling a voting system that serves millions poses two interesting challenges: First, precise control over who can access specific data and perform specific actions within the system is needed. Basic RBAC wasn't enough for this, so they had to employ a more precise control mechanism - That's where FGA came in. Second, there is the challenge of managing permissions for a large and fluctuating workforce, especially during election periods. Manually managing these permissions by writing policy code is a complex, time-consuming process for every organization, especially for one this large. This type of use case is precisely why we developed Permit.io: to support FGA with a no-code UI that allows non-technical stakeholders to take an active part in application security.
