Thank you!

How does it integrate with apps it controls?

Are there libraries?

Or does it provide a data format to implement in the app you're working on?

Hi Nick,

In the case of Authzed, we provide a gRPC API [0] which can be used from any application or language that supports gRPC, as well as designed client libraries for specific languages [1] to make integration even easier.

Applications primarily integrate by making Check requests [2] at any point in which a protected resource is being accessed and Write requests [3] at any point in which permissions are granted or removed.

Awesome! Thank you! That makes sense. That's very interesting.
