Contributor podcast: Decoupling authorization

In this episode of the Contributor podcast, listeners have the opportunity to hear from Cerbos’ CEO and co-founder, Emre Baran, as he joins Eric Anderson to explain the importance of decoupling authorization logic.

In the episode, Emre covers topics such as the difference between authentication and authorization, shares the benefits of Cerbos being language-agnostic, examines authorization patterns in a single application versus a larger network, and much more!

Emre also notes that most developers start their authorization journey by trying to do authorization themselves, but sometimes give up because it can be difficult to implement and maintain. Cerbos, on the other hand, is intentionally simple to implement and developer-focused.
