OPAL VS cal.com

Open Policy Administration Layer (OPAL) is an OSS project created to aid with Policy Engine management, which keeps them updated in real-time with data and policy updates. Supporting both OPA and AWS’ Cedar, OPAL offers two important features:\

Another tool that can help you deploy a Policy as Code-based solution in 2024 is OPAL, the Open Policy Administration Layer. OPAL is an open-source project that provides a comprehensive policy-based service for applications. With one click, you can deploy a full architecture of a Git-based centralized policy store with decentralized policy engines running as a sidecar with your applications. OPAL also provides a unified architecture to sync all the data you need with the policy engines.

Inspired by Braden’s post, this blog explores the journey of Reddit's team, focusing on their strategic decisions, the challenges they encountered, and the innovative solutions they crafted. Alongside Reddit's in-house efforts, we also examine OPAL, an open-source solution that aligns with the functionality of Reddit’s system, presenting an alternative approach for organizations seeking sophisticated authorization management solutions in the field of Ad Tech.

We reviewed how Netlfix used OPA with a a replication pattern; and decided to create a similar yet more extensible and event-driven solution - and so OPAL (Open Policy Administration Layer) was born - creating a scalable, zero-trust way to manage policy engines and their policy/data at scale.

If you find this post helpful,please give OPAL a star on GitHub! Your support helps us make access control easier and motivates us to write more articles like this one.

We are considering connecting this provider to our open-source tool OPAL. Are you using OPAL? Do you think such integration would be beneficial?

One example of such an administration tool is OPAL, an open policy administration layer that works with OPA. OPAL tracks changes in external services and propagates the data to the OPA PDPs so the authorization requests can handle existing data and return faster results.

Cal.com is an open-source event-juggling scheduler for everyone, and is free for individuals.

Turborepo is a tool that makes it easy to manage monorepos with pnpm and typescript. On large open source porject like cal.com they use it for fast building or running developing tasks like testing or linting. Turborepo depend havily on caching so it would reduce signficantly the time to build or run the tasks as well as CI/CD pipelines time and cost.

The next codebase to analyse is cal.com. This repo is larger than jsoncrack. It is a monorepo with packages and lots of stuff going behind the scenes.

hey, peer here from cal.com. we have an issue where we track all individual caldav implementations: https://github.com/calcom/cal.com/issues/9990

Cal - Alternative to Calendly

I force clients who want to talk to me to book a call. I use cal.com (free) and my Google Calendar (which its linked to) only allows calls on specific days/times. I have a few "Call Blocks" where they can book. That let's me do calls in a small section of my week, with ample downtime to recover the rest of the week. I'm still learning how many calls a day I can handle. Currently anything more than 2 is too much.

Cal.com- Cal.com is a scheduling tool that helps you schedule meetings without the back-and-forth emails.

Peer Rich (CEO at Cal.com)

Has any one deployed cal.com with selfhosted environment. Is yes how would have configured prisma for the same.

Recently I came across a company called cal.com, it's a Calendly alternative, but the catch is the entire software is open source: https://github.com/calcom/cal.com.
