Hi folks! Daniel here with another digest 💌
This week we had the pleasure of sponsoring a booth at Render ATL
Every time we attend one of these conferences, it reminds us of how important (and FUN!) it is to meet fellow tech enthusiasts. For us, it’s never about scanning leads or setting up sales meetings. The greatest thing about developer conferences is (the friends you make along the way) connections.
Whether you are a student trying to learn more about the complex world of IAM, a developer looking for new cool tools to improve your software development, or a designer looking for new exciting inspiration - these conferences have it all.
Well, almost -
With our booth at Render, we wanted to send a clear message—whether you are building authorization yourself old-school or you are looking to implement a tool that will allow you to never build permissions again (*Cough* Permit.io *Cough*), we’ve got something for everyone.
Render ATL is a unique event. Today, it is the largest conference for product and application developers in the US. What’s cool about that is that Render originally started out as a frontend development conference, and today it features a wide range of talks on backend and fullstack development.
There’s a symbolism in that—it just goes to show how frontend development has grown from a niche specialty to a significant influence across the entire software development industry.
This year at Render ATL, we spiced things up at our booth with some fun raffles, and
three lucky winners managed to snag a couple of PS1s and a PS5!
People also loved the nostalgic vibe of the booth and got themselves some of our cool custom-made playing cards:
Raffles and booth activities are fun and all, but they all have one major goal:
To help as many people learn more about tech, IAM, and authorization through our Slack community, our weekly live streams, and this newsletter ❤️
So welcome aboard to everyone new who joined! It was wonderful to see such enthusiasm and engagement, and we’re excited to continue these conversations and connections long after the conference.
Each conference we attend provides us with the opportunity to connect with many developers who have built their own authorization - from RBAC and ABAC to, God forbid, ACLs. Usually, they build them from scratch - investing a huge amount of time and resources in a feature that’s, on the one hand, crucial for every application to have but, on the other hand, isn’t unique to any application either. The worst part - it only becomes more complex as their projects grow.
These conversations remind us why we’re here: to make authorization simple and hassle-free, so developers can focus on the actual cool and unique features of their apps.
That’s it for this week!
It’s been a pleasure, as always. See you in two weeks ❤️🌈
Daniel
