# AuthZed

> AuthZed provides authorization infrastructure for modern applications and develops the open source permissions database SpiceDB which is inspired by Google's Zanzibar. AuthZed helps developers build, deploy, and scale fine-grained permission systems without compromising on performance, consistency, or security.

Key Benefits:

- **Engineering Resources Reclaimed**: Free engineers to focus on core product features instead of building authorization infrastructure
- **Offload Risk**: Benefit from battle-tested infrastructure with enterprise-grade reliability
- **Complexity Handled**: Support demanding permission models through configuration, not custom code
- **Scale from Day One**: Build for your first user and your millionth user with the same infrastructure
- **Reduce Development Costs**: Centralized control defines permissions once, enforces everywhere
- **Accelerate Time-to-Market**: Future-proof design adapts to changing requirements without code rewrites
- **Eliminate Scale Concerns**: Simplified architecture handles billions of objects with minimal latency
- **Enhance Security**: Consistent enforcement ensures uniform access control across all systems
