Managing complex authorization logic can be a nightmare. Without a framework to help you,
it can soon end up in a mess of if-else statements and partial solutions that will only
give you a headache.
One day, I found myself in that exact situation. I decided to tackle the problem, and
that's how I came across the concept of "policy-based authorization" or ABAC. While
there are available libraries for this, I found them of little help for a large, legacy
codebase that is monolithic at its core.
In my talk, I will share my experience in thinking about this problem and how to use
ABAC to implement a custom solution that fits your needs. I will outline the main
components of my solution and show how it can be applied to Django views and
FastAPI endpoints.
I’ve graduated from philosophy and social science. True to Zed A. Shaw advice from Learn Python the Hard Way, I entered the tech world as an anthropologist with barely enough of the local language to get around and survive. My next step led me to the Django Girls community - first as an attendee, then as a couch, committer and organizer. At 2016, I was a speaker at DjangoCon Europe. Currently, I’m working as a Python developer at Talixo.
In my free time, I’m involved in the extreme sports of mountain hiking with kids and dancing flamenco.
