Announcing OpenFGA 1.0 🚀

[rhamzeh]

Just in time for KubeCon EU we are proud to announce OpenFGA v1.0!

Over the past few months we've been focusing on improving the performance and stability of OpenFGA, improving observability and exposing better metrics, and making deploying OpenFGA to Kubernetes easier (as well as various other important improvements!). We are very happy with the progress made in that regard, and feel we are ready to hit the 1.0 milestone.

You can read the full release announcement here.

New & Improved Features

• Enhanced Authorization Model Language: OpenFGA v1.0 offers a significantly improved language for defining authorization models, making them easier to read and author.
• ListObjects API: This new API lets you retrieve all resources that a user can access based on the defined authorization policies, greatly simplifying auditing and access controls.
• Elevated Observability: OpenFGA v1.0 takes observability to new heights with Open Telemetry tracing, Prometheus metrics, and prof profiles, providing insights into your authorization system's performance.
• Effortless Deployment: Deploying OpenFGA to Kubernetes has never been easier, thanks to official Helm chart support. Get your Kubernetes cluster provisioned with just one command.
• Postgres Storage Adapter Performance Boost: OpenFGA v1.0's Postgres storage adapter is supercharged, ensuring rapid performance and seamless scalability.
• New Python SDK: A brand-new Python SDK makes it even more convenient for Python developers to integrate OpenFGA into their projects.
• Batching support in SDKs: OpenFGA v1.0's enhanced SDKs support batching queries, providing greater efficiency when making authorization requests, available for JavaScript and .NET (Go and Python SDK support coming soon)!
