A Comprehensive Guide to Setting Up Spicedb with PostgreSQL and a Monitoring Stack
4 min readJun 28, 2023
In this post, we will learn how to use the kind to set up Authzed Spicedb with a PostgreSQL database on a local Kubernetes cluster. Also, we will set up a monitoring stack with the help of kube-prometheus-stack.
Prerequisites:
- kind
- kubectl
- zed (Spicedb client)
- helm
- grpcurl (optional)
- git
- Docker
Setup code repository
Start by cloning the spicedb-postgres-kube
repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/akoserwal/spicedb-postgres-kube.git
Run the setup script
./setup.sh
The script will create a local Kubernetes cluster using kind.
