If you need the flexibility of a system that can model both RBAC and ABAC and you also want you want a Zanzibar-inspired design, SpiceDB[0] is the only option that I know checks all the boxes (disclosure: I'm a maintainer).

The UX definitely isn't optimized for Supabase, but I'd love to learn more about how that could be improved. I suspect it might be complicated if Supabase assumes RLS for everything.

While SpiceDB looks good. My only concern is if they will go the mongo route once they get more adoption and need to satisfy investors as opposed to customers/developers and make most of their features paid and leave the open source version hanging.


Well, you're in luck because AuthZed, the business behind SpiceDB, has a fantastic track record in this regard. We're quite conservative with fundraising and the first year of the company was bootstrapped by the founders. The founding team also has a strong history of properly balancing open source businesses from their experience in leadership roles over the past decade at CoreOS and Red Hat.

Glad to chat with anyone privately if they want more details.
