ubuntu/openfga repository overview

ubuntu/openfga is a rock for openfga maintained by Canonical.

A high-performance and flexible authorization/permission engine built for developers and inspired by Google Zanzibar.

It allows in-memory data storage for quick development, as well as pluggable database modules.
