WHY GOOGLE ZANZIBAR SHINES AT BUILDING AUTHORIZATION

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Zanzibar is Google’s consistent global authorization system. Over the last couple years, authorization (AKA “authz”) has become a hot topic of debate. Proponents of various authz frameworks, libraries, and philosophies have voiced their opinions on how it should be implemented, jockeying for their position to become the de facto way to implement authz. Google Zanzibar has recently emerged as a popular way to model and enforce authorization for modern, fine grained use cases. It efficiently scales to meet the demands of modern large-scale, cloud-native applications.
