Hi, my name is Jussi.

I am the author of Kilpi, a new open source authorization library for Typescript applications.

It is an opinionated library, that solves real problems for applications. It considers all aspects of authorization: queries, mutations, redacting data, changing your UI, defining policies, ABAC, RBAC, ReBAC...

I've created over a dozen applications throughout my career, and struggled with building a scalable authorization solution every time.

This is until I built my own company, Inclusive Mobility and decided to finally create a robust, scalable authorization solution. It ended up being so good, I decided I had to open source and release it to the public.

I'd love to hear your opinions on application authorization, how you do it and whether you think Kilpi is the right tool for the job.
