Authorization is a critical part of any application due to users' greater privacy awareness and new privacy standards like GDPR. Therefore, developers today are required to build complex authorization logic. However, most developers lack the expertise to build authorization with Python correctly, and they rebuild authorization from scratch repeatedly. This talk will provide best practices for building authorization with Python. To do so, he will show how to use existing tools in the ecosystem: OPA, OSO, OPAL, Zanzibar and others. Finally, he will provide recommendations about how to replace the pain of building authorization with implementing a simple and scalable solution.
