Project mention: Open Policy Agent | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-12

This feels very much like OpenFGA[0]. I've been evaluating authorization tool for one of my side projects and honestly most tools feels like creating relationships in a graph-like database and querying to see if there is/isn't relationship between two entities. Is there more to this (besides the implementation details) or am I missing something from these tools?
