For folks interested in 101 on linear algebra - I highly recommend book "Linear Algebra: Theory, Intuition, Code" by Mike X Cohen. After trying a couple of courses and books, I lik…

They key difference is with mTLS approach you'd have to steal the private key of the client certificate if you want to impersonate the client. In most secure deployments of mTLS an…

No problem! Keep it up with out of the box integrations, focus on U.X. and developer experience and I think you will be on track to become as big or bigger than Hashicorp :)

I don't think those are mutually exclusive options :) Most developers, especially with lots of legacy apps are better off using a secrets manager. But there is no reason to not pus…

Short version is that with mTLS and short-lived certificates you don't have to worry about anyone stealing and re-using your JWT tokens and revoking tokens. LVH from Latacora expla…

Sasha, CTO@Teleport here. Congrats on the launch! RE: Teleport design Teleport does not require a centralized proxy, because it is based on certificate authorities. You can issue a…

That's a fair concern. We don't have extra steps to the interview process, our team votes only on the submitted code. However, We did not spend enough time thinking about automatin…

gk1 thanks, this is a valid point! Teleport solves many quite important problems four our enterprise customers' infrastructure. Our users use Teleport to replace secrets and static…

That's a fair question. The team votes on specific aspects of implementation that can not be verified by running a program, for example: * Error handling and code structure - wheth…

Sasha, CTO @ Teleport here. I agree, our enterprise product is quite expensive. Let me explain why: * We are going through several security audits by third party agencies several t…
