SpiceDB is an open source, Google Zanzibar-inspired, database system for creating and managing security-critical application permissions.

SpiceDB

I remember seeing an experimental embedded spicedb somewhere, does anyone have experience wiring that up? (I know you can set the storage to "memory" but I'm looking to run spicedb within the process like embedded postgres). I see the `e2e` framework exposes something kinda like this but still requires a spicedb binary and really just execs it.

yep, we have an example illustrating how to in https://github.com/authzed/examples/tree/main/spicedb-as-library

Usecase: Spinning it up for integration tests in CI

well there is a GitHub Action for that you can use

and `spicedb` command also offers `serve-testing` to facilitate integration tests in CI
