Cerbos

Cerbos is an open-source authorization solution that simplifies complex access control implementation. It offers policy-based authorization that decouples access control logic from application code, making it easier to manage and update permissions without code changes.

Key benefits include:

• Flexible deployment options with stateless decision points that run locally
• Language-agnostic integration through SDKs for major programming languages
• Human-readable policies in YAML format for easy maintenance
• GitOps-ready workflow support for policy testing and deployment
• Low-latency performance with sub-millisecond decision times
• Comprehensive audit trails for compliance requirements

The system supports both RBAC and ABAC models, allowing teams to implement sophisticated access control that adapts to changing business needs.
