SingleStore introduces singlestore-auth-iam, a library enabling passwordless server authentication for databases and management APIs. Building on their 2022 singlestore-auth-helper for human users, this new tool integrates with cloud IAM systems (AWS, Azure, GCP) to use short-lived tokens instead of static passwords. Servers authenticate by requesting signed identity tokens from IAM, exchanging them for SingleStore-signed JWTs. This eliminates credential storage, enables automatic rotation, and reduces security risks across CI/CD pipelines and applications while maintaining role-based authorization through SingleStore's existing permissions system.
