Jimmy I truly think you're awesome (And so is SpiceDB), but the irony here stands out: "it presents opinion without any evidence or examples to justify the claim and concludes it as fact"

You mean stuff like: 1) "SpiceDB, the most mature open source project inspired by Zanzibar" (though I'd vouch for that one) 2) " it is necessary beyond a particular scale which is well beyond the point at which policy engines typically fall over." 3) "Zanzibar is novel because it is fundamentally designed to be ran at the edge" 4) "we recently managed to scale SpiceDB to >1M requests per second with 100B relationships while maintaining a 5ms p95 measured at the client application" - you should bundle that statement with you need to set it up within your own VPC for it to be fair. 5) "The claim that you absolutely need a service to run a Zanzibar system is a provably false claim based on the number of clusters in the wild running SpiceDB or Ory's Keto project" - how many clusters? :)

Re: "This article conveniently leaves out how other systems get data to the edge while still keeping it consistent for their authorization logic" The article actually does mention OPAL [0]

Your critique of my comment is quite fair; we're both guilty of making claims, but not including all the supporting evidence for brevity's sake. I think we can both agree that everyone working in this space is doing awesome work and bringing authorization the attention that it's sorely needed.

Agree 100%. <3 And as I told Joey many times - I'd love to collaborate more with you as well.
