This post was originally published on the website of Pavouk OÜ (Estonia). On 2020-06-12, I announced that Pavouk OÜ was closing. The posts I wrote have been moved here.
We’re pleased to announce the private release of Tigrosa 1.0—the very first stable version! Tigrosa is a dedicated authentication and authorisation program, which acts as a secure proxy for a backend API, vastly simplifying the programming logic necessary for securing an application. This not only increases security, but also decreases development time for new products! It started its life as part of Isoxya, but during development we realised that there would be value in extracting and extending it, making it only loosely-coupled to the lower layers, and thus able to support a wide variety of programming languages and potential products.
If it’s only a private release, why are we announcing it? Well, we’re intending to use this more and more at Pavouk going forward—Isoxya 1.1 will switch over to using it, for example, at the same time fixing a number of bugs we identified during stringent testing—and we have plans to use it in future programs, too. Over the coming months, we intend to start using and extending it—we know things are rarely perfect the first time round—and once it’s more mature and we’ve had chance to optimise its already-decent performance even more, we’ll consider making it available in some form as an additional service. Stay tuned!
