  1. AccessGranted

    Multi-role and whitelist based authorization gem for Rails (and not only Rails!)

    I've been happy with https://github.com/chaps-io/access-granted , which is kind of like cancan(can) but even further simplified.

  2. InfluxDB

    InfluxDB – Built for High-Performance Time Series Workloads. InfluxDB 3 OSS is now GA. Transform, enrich, and act on time series data directly in the database. Automate critical tasks and eliminate the need to move data externally. Download now.

  3. eaco

    Eaco is an Attribute-Based Access Control authorization framework for Ruby.

    I advise against using Pundit. The whole idea is flawed. Unfortunately, it got very popular. Check out https://github.com/ifad/eaco instead.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
