Description:

Authorization is one of the foundational needs when building your applications and services. Making sure you are able to correctly and reliably grant or deny access to your application resources is critical. Yet this is still one of the hardest things we have to do as developers. In this session I am going to cover a new open source project called Cedar that helps you solve this problem and build next generation authorization into your applications. Developed with automated reasoning and differential testing, I am going to provide a quick overview of Cedar, and then showing you with a simple demo how you can begin to use Cedar to help you simplify authorisation for your applications.

Prerequisites:

This session is aimed at Python developers. The live coding/demo will be using Flask.
