Hello , I am new to Authzed. I have a quick question . Do we always need Docker or Kubernets if we use spicedb ? How do we deploy the schemas from Authzed ?

SpiceDB can run in bare metal too, but the support for the clustering mechanism is limited, which at the same time limits the scalability of the system. What do you mean "deploy schemas from Authzed"? Are you referring to writting schemas to the serverless authzed.com, or writting the schema to your own SpiceDB instance?

i'd 100% recommend using the SpiceDB operator and kubernetes. gRPC and kubernetes kinda coevolved, and gRPC doesn't work as well in a non-kubernetes environment, in addition to what was said above

I am referring to schemas written in Authzed

What is "schemas written in Authzed". I don't think I understand the question

like the above in authzed https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1237801510361108511/1237822889974038680/image.png?ex=663d0be6&is=663bba66&hm=4d6c8ff80a8af6a8a23e4eb35f8a4c535ce8ed40298338e6c0a4553a24a4611d&

@RedPat no. there is no schema management interface - you write your schema to your cluster using a

WriteSchema

call from the same client you use to make check and list calls.

So where is the cluster hosted ? in Authzed ? and where do we check and list calls ?

you can self-host the open-source version or you can use authzed's managed solutions

What you're referring to as "in Authzed" appears to be the "playground" – it's just that, a place to experiment with schemas. You can export schemas you write there via the "DOWNLOAD" link at the top.

The playground is also opensource now: https://github.com/authzed/playground

Thanks a lot foe the information @yetitwo @vroldanbet @Alec
