Welcome to the September edition of Fine Grained News! As we transition into the fall season, we’re excited to bring you the latest updates on the progress of OpenFGA.

Just Shipped​

In Progress​

  • Authorization for OpenFGA: OpenFGA currently supports global pre-shared keys and OIDC for API authentication, but we’re exploring more granular authorization options, such as store-specific credentials and varying permissions for stores, modules, and types.

  • Batch Check: OpenFGA SDKs currently implement BatchCheck by issuing multiple parallel request to the OpenFGA server. We'll be implementing a BatchCheck server endpoint to improve performance and reduce network overhead.

Check out our roadmap to see what’s in the works. Feature requests and ideas can be shared in GitHub Discussions.

Announcements​

  • Hacktoberfest 2024: Hacktoberfest is a month long celebration of open source software which encourages new and experienced developers alike to contribute code to open source projects during the month of October. This makes October a great time to become an OpenFGA contributor! We have labeled a number of issues on GitHub with "Hacktoberfest" and "Good First Issue" labels making it easy to find a way to get involved and have your code included in OpenFGA.
  • Monthly Community Meeting: Join us for our monthly Community Meetings, held on the second Thursday of every month at 11 AM Eastern Time (US). Our next meeting is on Thursday, October 10, 2024. Our community meetings are a great way to stay updated with the latest developments, ask questions, and engage with the OpenFGA community. If you would like to demo your implementation of OpenFGA, please reach out to us on any of our community channels or at [email protected]. You can find the link to the meeting invite here. We look forward to seeing you there!
