Authorisation 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, we cover a new open source project from AWS called Cedar that helps you solve this problem and build next generation authorisation into your applications. We provide a quick overview in authorisation first, before looking at Cedar and then showing you with a simple demo how you can begin to use Cedar to help you simplify authorisation for your applications.
