Authorization infrastructure, managed

Ship features instead of building permissions. One API replaces months of in-house access control — with microsecond checks, cryptographic audit trails, and zero ops.

Authorization is a hidden crisis

The #1 API security risk. Every company needs it. Most build it from scratch. Get it wrong and you're on the front page for the wrong reasons.

Every decision recorded. Zero overhead.

Permission checks in microseconds, automatic audit trails, and scaling you never think about. That's what managed authorization should feel like. See how it works →

2.8µs permission check speed Orders of magnitude faster than alternatives

4.9b checks/second Never a bottleneck in your hot path

0.3ms audit trail overhead Every decision recorded at zero cost

47ms global sync speed Consistency across every region

GDPR compliant and audit-ready on every plan.

Authorization for every stack

Multi-Tenant SaaS

Your customers demand per-account permissions, nested teams, and custom roles. InferaDB models arbitrarily complex hierarchies without role explosion — and scales from 10 users to 10 million without re-architecture.

Compliance & Regulation

SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, NIS2, DORA, PCI DSS — InferaDB's cryptographic audit trails and data residency controls satisfy regulatory requirements by default, not as an afterthought.

AI Agent Authorization

Every AI agent action requires a permission decision. Traditional systems handle 1-2 checks per request. Agent workflows require dozens. InferaDB's microsecond latency makes this tractable.

How InferaDB stacks up

You're either building authorization in-house, stitching together policy engines, or paying for a managed service that still leaves gaps.

Replace thousands of lines of auth code with three

One policy language for roles, relationships, and attributes — RBAC, ReBAC, and ABAC in a single schema. Express your permission model in minutes, not months →

schema.ipl

entity organization {
  relation admin: user
  relation member: user
}

entity document {
  relation parent: folder
  relation viewer: user | team#member
  relation editor: user
  relation owner: user

  // Combine relationships, attributes, and modules
  permission view = viewer
    or editor
    or parent.viewer
    or module.check_clearance(context, resource)
  permission edit = editor or owner
  permission delete = owner
}

Define your model

Express entities, relationships, and permissions in IPL. Supports ReBAC, RBAC, ABAC, and custom WebAssembly logic — all in one schema.

Write relationships

Store tuples like (user:alice, editor, document:123) via REST or gRPC. Every change is cryptographically committed to the ledger.

Check permissions

Ask "can user X do Y on resource Z?" and get an answer in microseconds with a full explanation path and revision token for consistency.

{
  "decision": "ALLOWED",
  "subject": "user:alice",
  "permission": "edit",
  "resource": "document:roadmap",
  "revision": "r_a1b2c3",

  ],
  "hash": "e3b0c44298fc...",

  "vault": "prod-us-east"
}

Every decision recorded

Each permission check produces a hash-chained audit entry. Tamper-evident, append-only, per-tenant isolation.

Cryptographic proof

Merkle proofs verify that no audit entry has been altered or deleted. Export to your SIEM or compliance toolchain.

Framework-ready compliance

Maps directly to SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, and NIS2 controls. Purpose-built for regulated environments.
