AuthZed is a company that aims to fix broken access control systems by building an infrastructure software called SpiceDB, which was open-sourced in late 2021. The company's first commercial offering, AuthZed Dedicated Cloud, launched in early 2022 and provides a dedicated cloud platform for provisioning SpiceDB deployments similar to major cloud providers. Dedicated Clouds are a middle ground between Public and Private Clouds, offering varying levels of isolation and dedicated resources while not fully isolating end users. AuthZed has recognized the need for a self-service product with shared control plane features, which is under active development as AuthZed Cloud, expected to launch later this year, sharing the same codebase as Dedicated Cloud.
