AuthZed Dedicated is a managed, fully-isolated SaaS deployment of SpiceDB, an open-source permissions database. It is designed for production environments that require high availability, consistency, and performance for authorization operations at scale. Key characteristics of the service: - **Dedicated Resources**: Runs on isolated infrastructure, separate from other customer workloads, eliminating "noisy neighbor" performance issues caused by shared resources. - **Multi-Region Availability**: Permissions systems can be distributed across multiple cloud regions to survive provider outages and maintain uptime. - **Private Networking**: Access to authorization operations is restricted to trusted connections via private networking, reducing exposure to public networks. - **Global Consistency**: Supports co-locating permissions systems adjacent to application workloads across multiple regions without sacrificing consistency. - **Resource-Based Pricing**: Pricing is scoped to reserved resource allocations, with sizing assistance provided by the AuthZed team. - **Compliance**: The service maintains SOC2 and GDPR compliance certifications. - **Monitoring & Support**: Includes a management dashboard with live metrics and Premium support tier. - **Multi-Tenancy**: Supports managing multiple tenants within a permissions system. AuthZed Dedicated is targeted at organizations that need a fully managed, enterprise-grade authorization service with strong isolation guarantees, global reach, and compliance requirements.
