AuthZed

Everyone's implementing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and allowing AI to look at your data. But how do you make sure that LLMs and AI agents have access only to the data that they should have access to? AuthZed CEO Jacob Moshenko talks about the architecture of a secure RAG stack and how it could provide guard rails for AI in the near future #authorization #genAI #llm

You can use Amazon ECS as a deployment target for SpiceDB (but you probably shouldn't in prod!) Here's your weekend learning guide: https://lnkd.in/gTHw7BJU #aws #authorization

To close out 2024 SpiceDB development, we are releasing SpiceDB v1.39. In this release we introduce: 📊 Native histograms for gRPC server metrics 🏥 Smarter health checks with user-specified set of safe migrations 🗃️ Improvements for transaction metadata Check out more on the blog, https://lnkd.in/g7CDxKCT. If you find yourself with time over the holiday and want to get up to speed on all things SpiceDB check out the SpiceDB playlist on YouTube, https://lnkd.in/gTeGf2F7. Happy Holidays from the AuthZed team!

Are you a database geek? Then you might be interested in learning about AuthZed Materialize. AuthZed Materialize is a real-time, consistent database materialized view that speeds up even the most complex SpiceDB queries. You can also use the Materialize APIs to build a local, ACL-aware index, even if SpiceDB is unavailable. Evan Cordell and Sohan Maheshwar will be streaming live, discussing the underlying tech behind Materialize, and how accelerated queries - demos included.

We're gonna have some fun on livestream by playing around with the Gitea data model. Evan's hacked up a demo to build SpiceDB + Materialize support for ACL-filtered search. Also, it's an Office Hours format so get your questions answered (or just hang with us for the last stream of the year 🎄🎅☃️)

Your LLMs are accessing data they shouldn't! Everyone is adopting RAG and LLMs but it's still a challenge to implement fine-grained authorization during the data retrieval step. However, using Open Source frameworks such as SpiceDB, you can build an access control system for your AI. Check out Evan's demo on building Fine-grained AuthZ for Retrieval Augmented Generation.

What does Jake Moshenko think the biggest thing in tech since the internet is? This clip is from a recent livestream about the State of Authorization in 2024.

What an amazing and jam packed way to close out the year on the event front. I started the morning on a panel for Israeli Mapped in NY organized by Guy Franklin along with Max Rimpel, Seth Rosenberg, Jesse Middleton, and Ori Kaufman Gafter talking AI and funding trends, F500 budgets, and our investments in Israeli founders. Then later in the afternoon I discussed all things enterprise GTM in a fireside chat with Erica Wenger 🏕️ from Brex. We covered the 0 to 1 journey for enterprise startups across messaging, customer discovery, defining your ICP, pipeline building, and more. cc Shai Goldman. And then wrapped the night with our Work-Bench Developer Happy Hour with eng leaders from our port co's FireHydrant, AuthZed, Courier Health, GovWell, Arthur, and CloudQuery.
