Performance fundamentals
Global
FGA replicates data globally across multiple regions, enabling both reads and writes in any of the supported locations. This minimizes latency and increases availability through redundancy.
Scalable
FGA is built to scale. It can store millions of objects and continuously handle tens of thousands of authorization checks per second.
Fast
FGA is optimized for fast authorization checks. It runs geographically close to its clients, and uses various techniques to minimize tail latency.
Built on OpenFGA
Join us and others to build a foundation that secures authorization for the world. Designed by Auth0 by Okta, and now owned by Cloud Native Computing Foundation, OpenFGA sits at the heart of our FGA service.
