Macaroons + Elixir: Distributed API Authorization
Macaroons allow decentralized authorization in the cloud, making them a fantastic fit for web applications built in Elixir. We'll take a look at what Macaroons are, the benefits they offer, and how they are a perfect authorization construct in a Phoenix based web application.
OBJECTIVE:
Everyone who attends the talk should leave with a general idea about what Macaroons are, how they work and why they'd be useful in the context of an Elixir web API/Application.
AUDIENCE:
Experienced Elixir/Phoenix developers who may be familiar with authorization constructs such as JWTs.
