Authorization is Easy Now - Microservices, Next.js, Cerbos

Learn to implement authorization in microservices and Next.js applications using Cerbos, an open-source authorization solution. Explore the common problems with traditional authorization approaches and discover how modern auth architecture can solve these challenges through policy-based access control. Understand how to create policy files that define authorization rules and implement a policy decision point microservice that evaluates these rules. Follow along as you connect your Next.js application to Cerbos and see how the system adapts when business requirements change. Discover how to integrate Cerbos on the frontend using WebAssembly (WASM) and create a custom React hook (useCerbos) for seamless authorization checks. Gain practical experience with a complete code example that demonstrates how to build scalable, maintainable authorization systems for modern web applications.
