Embedded components
Embedded components are third-party software packaged with the platform.
Component Description SpiceDB An open-source, database-backed system for managing fine-grained authorization. Provides a relationship-based access control model (ReBAC) and powers complex authorization at scale. SpiceDB Operator A Kubernetes operator that automates the deployment, configuration, and lifecycle management of SpiceDB instances. It streamlines operational tasks such as upgrades, scaling, and configuration changes. Dgraph A distributed, open-source graph database designed for high-performance queries and real-time graph processing. Supports GraphQL natively and is optimized for horizontal scalability.
