Performance documentation

Greetings!

It's not actually an issue, but more of a question, so sorry for putting it here. 🤷‍♂️

I'm performing an investigation regarding potential usage of SpiceDB in our system, but can't find any docs or benchmarks (at least on the surface) on how SpiceDB behaves on large number of entries, especially: users and resources.

I quite understand that benchmarking and numbers heavily depend on the particular permission model one choses and designs, but I think it'd be nice to have at least benchmarks and docs or the models for examples you show in your blog. Was I merely not a decent finder or there're none yet?

In general, I would love to have (treat it as a request for future improvements 🙂):

• Documented benchmarks for some most popular permission models (e.g. recreation of the RBAC system for REST API with lots of users on decent amount of routes/resources)
• O-notation complexities of the operations (especially for authz checks)
• Explanations/benchmarks of various cache levels (e.g. w-w/o Zed-tokens, consistency levels, etc.)
• Tools to easily bootstrap a performance testing in anyone's environment

One live running benchmark is the Authzed Website which uses Authzed as authorization backend Refer: https://status.authzed.com For more questions like this, you can join their discord server: https://authzed.com/discord
