As programmers, many of us got indoctrinated into ideas like “Convention over Configuration” and “Provide Sharp Knives” early on. But authorization – a problem as old as software and one that’s core to no one’s domain – is still anything but magical.

Sam Scott (cofounder/CTO of Oso) is on an epic quest for programmable authorization, and thinks we can learn a thing or two from web frameworks when building authorization systems.

During this tech talk, Sam will explain: - Why an authorization system needs to be opinionated but flexible - Why it’s a tricky balance to achieve - And what happens if you get it right.

He’ll also demo Oso Cloud, a batteries-included authorization system we’ve built for application authorization. Stay for a technical Q&A, demos from Oso engineers, special swag, and a Polar policy puzzle (there will be prizes). See you there!
