# OpenFGA in production

> Production OpenFGA case studies from Agicap, Docker, Grafana Labs, Headspace, OpenLane, Read AI, Vitrolife, Zuplo and other adopters running fine-grained authorization at scale.

OpenFGA is deployed in production at fintechs, observability platforms, AI products, developer-tool companies, and API platforms. The case studies below are based on public [CNCF TOC adopter interviews](https://github.com/cncf/toc/tree/main/projects/openfga) and OpenFGA community meeting presentations.

## Featured case studies

| Adopter | Industry | In production since | Scale |
| - | - | - | - |
| [Read AI](/docs/adopters/read-ai) | AI meeting intelligence | April 2023 | 5,200 RPS peak, 5.3B+ tuples |
| [Agicap](/docs/adopters/agicap) | Fintech | April 2023 | \~250 RPS, 8,000+ customers |
| [Zuplo](/docs/adopters/zuplo) | API management | 2024 | 500+ RPS spikes, multi-region edge |
| [Grafana Labs](/docs/adopters/grafana) | Observability | 2024 | Multi-tenant SaaS + embedded OSS |
| [Docker](/docs/adopters/docker) | Developer tools | March 2024 | 100-150 RPS |
| [Headspace](/docs/adopters/headspace) | Mental health & consumer | 2024 | 90M lives, 6M Ebb messages, 10-15 ms p99 |
| [OpenLane](/docs/adopters/openlane) | Compliance SaaS | 2024 | ent ORM hooks, BatchCheck overfetch (100/1000) |
| [Vitrolife Group](/docs/adopters/vitrolife) | Healthcare | 2025 | Hybrid Entra + OpenFGA, hourly differential sync |

## What these adopters have in common

* **Self-hosted, open source.** Every adopter cited the ability to run OpenFGA themselves as a key reason for choosing it over proprietary offerings.
* **PostgreSQL at scale.** Production deployments are running on Postgres, with billions of tuples in the largest case.
* **ReBAC over RBAC.** Each team chose relationship-based access control for the flexibility it gives over flat role models. See [authorization concepts](/docs/authorization-concepts) for a refresher.
* **CNCF governance** matters. Teams explicitly contrasted CNCF stewardship with the licensing risk of source-available alternatives.

## Adopter list

OpenFGA is also publicly used by organizations including [Wolt](https://wolt.com), [Canonical](https://canonical.com), and many more. The full list is maintained in the [`openfga/community` repository](https://github.com/openfga/community/blob/main/ADOPTERS.md).
