Passwords have long been the weakest link in modern infrastructure. They’re hard to manage and difficult to rotate securely at scale.
At SingleStore we believe security should be strong and simple. That’s why we’re continuing our journey toward a passwordless future starting with people.

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.
