Authzed's First Anniversary has been a remarkable year for the company founded by Jake, Joey, and Plushcap, marking significant milestones such as completing the Winter '21 batch of YCombinator, closing their seed round just shy of $4M, open sourcing SpiceDB, building a Web IDE for permissions systems, and launching a new command-line tool. The company has also experienced personal milestones like Sam becoming a father to Penny, and continued growth with new updates including a stable v1 API, improved consistency per-request support in SpiceDB, and a test-suite built by Evan to guarantee resilience. Authzed is now officially posting monthly wrap-ups of events and new functionality on their blog, and has also started sharing random channel content from their Slack. The company's first anniversary marks an exciting time for the team as they look to the future with optimism.
