    Project mention: How to build Auth in 2023 with go? | /r/golang | 2023-05-31

    Also really easy to implement as there are libraries that do all the heavy lifting for you (https://github.com/markbates/goth is a great starting place IMHO)

  • Ory Keto

    Open Source (Go) implementation of "Zanzibar: Google's Consistent, Global Authorization System". Ships gRPC, REST APIs, newSQL, and an easy and granular permission language. Supports ACL, RBAC, and other access models.

    Project mention: Show HN: Blueprint for a distributed multi-region IAM with Go and CockroachDB | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-08

    One of Ory’s core competencies is permissions. We built the first Google Zanzibar implementation in the world and it’s part of Ory Network‘s global multi-region platform (https://github.com/ory/keto)

    A push model is also valid if you’re heavy on policies and can accept eventual consistency. We will investigate how to generally push things to the edge (like we did with Ory Edge Sessions) or to cryptographic verification wherever staleness is acceptable.

    By solving the primitives correctly in the beginning (with a multi region architecture) that job does become a lot easier, which is what we decided doing at Ory :)

  • authboss

    Project mention: Best package for user mangement | /r/golang | 2023-06-11

    HTTP Session Management for Go

    Project mention: Authentication system using Golang and Sveltekit - Login and Logout | dev.to | 2023-06-04

    Although there are pretty good session managers in the Go ecosystem such as alexedwards/scs, golangcollege/session and gorilla/sessions, we won't use any but using this great guide, we'll write our own. This is to keep our project's dependence on external packages at the barest minimum.
