In this episode, we take a deep dive into the role of graph databases in Identity and Access Management (IAM) and explore why they are becoming indispensable in modern IAM systems.
For over 25 years, LDAP and relational databases have been he backbone of IAM. However, as the demands of IAM systems evolve, particularly in cloud-native and enterprise environments, it's clear that traditional databases are struggling to keep pace.
It's time to introduce graph databases, a technology inherently suited for many IAM use cases. While relational databases offer consistency and robust transactional support, they falter in handling the growing complexity of dynamic access control and scalable architectures. Graph databases, on the other hand, excel at managing complex relationships and connections—key elements in modern IAM systems.
In this episode, we discuss the limitations of RDBMS systems and explore how graph databases can transform IAM by offering smarter, more adaptable solutions for today's identity challenges.
