Notes

DevDay Flash Cards
Question 1 / intro: what is DX, a feeling; three key properties plus a fourth; we’re investing in all of them

Question 2 / trends: a few things; spectrum pro code to no code; pro code very here to stay; reimplmenting things repeatedly low value, so new low and no code approaches are emerging; helps developers focus on real value; I could see myself building no code in future; let’s talk about some key id trends now

Question 3 / web 3: caveat not my teams; bridge gap from Web2 to Web3; spectrum from centralization to decentralization, we help both; Auth0 Web3 capable by partnering with Web3 builders in Marketplace

Question 4 / verifiable: draft is not yet 4 weeks old; vc are records that make claims about a subject and signed by an issuer

Question 5 / verifable flow: university scenario; physical cards; coffee shop discounts; revoked cards; hard to tell out in the world; example of buying rail tickets at Central in the past

Question 6 + 7: uni issues digital creds; students present them via phone etc

Then Auth Marketplace partners MTTR and Dock Labs; wallets perform same function as physical wallets; a lost or stolen phone can just have creds revoked globally and new ones issued; Marketplace makes this easy for devs to add to their applications today

Question 8 / vendor: not tied to a specific vendor, it’s not a proprietary API, it’s a standard anyone can adopt, read and write

Question 9 / FGA: authentication vs authorization; what we mean by FGA historically coarse; Google Docs is maybe the most well-know example of FGA (called Zanzibar on which we based ours)

Question 10 / FGA differentiators: DIY is complex, the logic is hard, near-real-time response globally; so we made it a SaaS developers can adopt; you will learn more about FGA this afternoon; three main elements –
– program your authzn model
– friendly APIs
– no infra

Question 11 / open source: we oss b/c 3 things; create a large ecosystem and our oss maximises chances for this; enable customers with truly complex use cases; industry benefit from commonality, Okta has leadership, trust, scale, investment capacity
