Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Apple releases Pkl – onfiguration as code language
My employer uses a combination of Protocol Buffers (for the config schema definition) and Bazel/Starlark (for concrete instantiations). Configs are validated at build time and runtime using CEL (https://github.com/google/cel-spec).

CEL for admission controller with ValidatingAdmissionPolicy in K8s 1.26
The Common Expression Language (CEL) implements common semantics for expression evaluation, enabling different applications to more easily interoperate. https://github.com/google/cel-spec
-
Pure Ruby implementation of Google Common Expression Language
Looks like Google invented a specification for a simple "expression language." -> https://github.com/google/cel-spec/blob/master/doc/langdef.md. Writing the expressions feels like writing Java, C++, Go, or TypeScript code. Google then released C++ and Go versions of this langauge as a library.

A library for evaluating expressions like Google Common Expression Language but for Java
https://github.com/google/cel-spec unfortunately, it's in Go or C++. Of course I can write a binding to them. But is there any other similar that you would know of for Java? My other course of action would be to offload computation to another service using this library in Go, or Jsonnet or Open Policy Agent/Rego based evaluation, which I'd prefer not to. Executing JS in Java via Nashorn also an option but it'd be heavy weight.

JsonLogic
Having a standard way to share expressions does seem quite useful, especially when it's multilingual.

Question about setting up multiple applications using nginx.
Especially when dealing with more complex match rules, I personally much prefer Caddy's matchers over building some weird-ass if constructs in Nginx. It also supports CEL for request matching, giving you access to extremely powerful logic, if you need it.

AWS Creates New Policy-Based Access Control Language Cedar
All of the sdks support client side monitoring (CSM), so these sort of tools can be built client side. https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/1.10.46/gui...
afaics the only challenge is mapping some of the apis to iam as its only 85% 1:1
There's also tools for helping with iam like (generator, and linter)

Policy Sentry - IAM Least Privilege Policy Generator
It is an open source initiative from Salesforce. Using Policy Sentry, it is easy to automate the creation of IAM policies with little knowledge on security.
-
Starting your Cloud Security Journey
You can use tools like policy_sentry to create least privilege IAM policies.
-
I built a tool which automatically suggests least-privilege IAM policies
The tool is in a similar space to iamlive, policy_sentry, and consoleme (all of which are worth checking out too if you're interested in making AWS security easier) but the main points of difference I see are:

Show HN: Endgame – An AWS Pentesting tool to backdoor or expose AWS resources
@kmcquade ur awesome ! we are users of https://github.com/salesforce/policy_sentry and definitely definitely https://github.com/salesforce/cloudsplaining .
If I could give you guys money, I would. You should totally build a startup around it.
What are some alternatives?
jsonlogic - Go Lang implementation of JsonLogic
iamlive - Generate an IAM policy from AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud (GCP) calls using client-side monitoring (CSM) or embedded proxy
json-logic-js - Build complex rules, serialize them as JSON, and execute them in JavaScript
consoleme - A Central Control Plane for AWS Permissions and Access
json-logic-rs - JSONLogic implementation in Rust, accessible via Python and JS
PMapper - A tool for quickly evaluating IAM permissions in AWS.
jaspr - Modern web framework for building websites in Dart. Supports SPAs and SSR.
terraform-aws-policy-sentry - Terraform module for Policy Sentry.
secure-json-logic - Use logic-objects from uncertain sources and run them locally without breaking the own system
cloudsplaining - Cloudsplaining is an AWS IAM Security Assessment tool that identifies violations of least privilege and generates a risk-prioritized report.
jsedn - javascript implementation of edn
aws-leastprivilege - Generates an IAM policy for the CloudFormation service role that adheres to least privilege.
