This update includes a double feature of significant progress and improvements. Brad has joined the team as a full-time SRE, while SpiceDB released huge performance improvements and support for MySQL. The v0 SpiceDB API was deprecated and is being removed, with warnings for old versions and the ability to store insecure data in contexts. Authzed.com also underwent a penetration test, and updates have been made to the playground UI, chat support, and blog RSS feed. Additionally, notable news includes Apple's entry into enterprise software suites, Google's smart watch leak, and Vercel's continued efforts to become faster. The SpiceDB repository has surpassed Quay in GitHub stars, with Jimmy Zelinskie announcing that the team will not make the same mistake again by waiting too long to open source and build a community.
