Summary

SpiceDB is a database designed to store relationships and compute authorization decisions. It decouples authorization data from applications and stores it in a centralized service. SpiceDB simplifies integration with existing applications by introducing zed import, which allows users to easily import external data into the database. The latest version of zed also introduces an experimental way to transform and import data from PostgreSQL databases into SpiceDB. This feature is currently considered an experiment due to its limitations, including queries that may be insufficient for large datasets and object ID generation issues. However, it provides a solution for bootstrapping applications with existing data and lays the groundwork for supporting first-class connectors to sync external data into SpiceDB in the future.
