cerbos
Cerbos is the open core, language-agnostic, scalable authorization solution that makes user permissions and authorization simple to implement and manage by writing context-aware access control policies for your application resources.
Project mention: Show HN: Authorization game – matching requests to permission policies | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-02-14I wanted to get back to coding and play around with a simple way to explain how our product works(permission management platform, https://cerbos.dev). So I built the Cerbos Game, where players match incoming requests to permission policies and decide to ALLOW or DENY them; just like our product does for software apps.
This game disrupted our engineering team’s daily work as they competed to beat the high score. The coolest part is that the game uses our own product under the hood.
It’s simple yet fun. I’d say it was a weekend well spent
