Auditing systems maintenance 🔌 Hi all, please be advised that on 17:00 UTC we’ll be upgrading and migrating our audit logs underlying storage system. During the migration period (up to 3-4 days) some older logs might not be retrievable from the UI / API. No data will be lost, and emergency access to data will be available via our support channels (within each customer’s SLA). This move would dramatically improve query speeds and overall usage experience with the Permit auditing sub-systems . We thank you for your understanding, and as always are available for any questions you might have ! permiticon

Hi <!everyone>! We are excited to announce that we have just launched a new pricing model and tier for Permit.io, focused on enabling affordable, predictable, fine-grained authorization tailored to developers and companies of all sizes. Here are some of the main changes: • We’ve introduced a Startup tier, priced significantly lower than our previous Pro tier, and provides essential features that support the needs of smaller organizations. This means applications with up to 10,000 users now cost as low as $150 per month. • We’ve expanded our free tier to include all core capabilities that were previously limited to the Pro tier. This means these key features are now available for free to our community tier users: ◦ GitOps flow, writing custom policies as code ◦ GitHub integration ◦ infrastructure-as-code tooling with Terraform. • We’re introducing a quota on the number of resources and rules each client can define within our system. ◦ This means we can now manage our operational costs more effectively, especially when it comes to caching rules and handling the volume of API calls ◦ resulting in a Monthly Active User (MAU) pricing structure at a rate significantly lower than any other authorization-as-a-service provider. Note that no Permit.io paying customer will have to pay more for the newly established quota. You can read more about the new changes in detail here We have, of course, also published a full breakdown on Permit's pricing page, where you can view a side-by-side comparison of all tiers. We know that changes to pricing are a big deal, so if you have any questions, feel free to DM myself, @Gabriel L. Manor, or post them in #C02RTML2WNN ❤️

Big shoutout to Celery for being our Tool of the Week, chosen by @Dan: 🎉 "As a framework for task queues, Celery enables us to design and build tasks, publish them to a cluster for execution, and receive responses efficiently. By using it, we were easily able to compose very complex task workflows at scale. In microservice-based architectures, worker queues like Celery are a really important part of effective horizontal scaling. At Permit.io, we use Celery as part of our architecture to handle resource-intensive tasks and workflows". Dan also created an amazing monitoring tool—Celery Insights—which allows us to view all connected workers, monitor their activities, and understand task workflows clearly and intuitively. "In my previous role, I worked with a Celery cluster, handling tens of thousands of tasks every day. Bringing it into Permit.io made perfect sense—I think it’s a very useful tool for scaling and workflow management. Highly recommended for anyone in need of quality task execution and workflow orchestration!" https://github.com/danyi1212/celery-insights

<!everyone> Okay… weird one today. Someone published a “mirror” of our product at Permit.sh. It’s not ours, but it’s clearly been made to look like us. The design, the copy, even the bugs – spot on. We didn’t put it there. At least, not that we remember. If you decide to visit, proceed with caution. And curiosity. If you find anything, drop it here. But don’t trust everything you see.

<!everyone> April Fools! 🎭😅 Some teams go for harmless jokes on April 1st. We at Permit.io? We believe in quality over quantity, which means pulling off a high-stakes, heart-stopping prank instead. This year, we convinced our CEO that a rogue clone of Permit.io had been flagged in a security audit. Complete with a matching domain (permit.sh); it had all the markings of a serious breach—except, of course, it wasn’t real. What makes this even better? Our customers helped us pull it off. In Permit.io, we build, we secure, and sometimes… we prank each other for good fun. 😜
