Macaroons Escalated Quickly
Summary: Fly.io has implemented a new security token system called Macaroons, which provides a flexible and secure way to manage API tokens. Macaroons are user-editable tokens that enable just-in-time generated least-privilege tokens. They can be used to express various roles and permissions without requiring a database lookup. Third-party caveats in Macaroons allow for a plugin system for security tokens, making them an attractive option for managing permissions in a public cloud platform. Fly.io's implementation of Macaroons has improved the security and performance of their system, allowing for more efficient and secure management of user permissions.
