    Open Source (Go) implementation of "Zanzibar: Google's Consistent, Global Authorization System". Ships gRPC, REST APIs, newSQL, and an easy and granular permission language. Supports ACL, RBAC, and other access models.

  • OPA takes a whole different approach. They basically have a specific language and a corresponding interpreter. The previous version of Keto was based off of OPA. We discovered that it is not suitable for our needs and what we want to offer because it can be very hard to meet certain performance goals (e.g. https://github.com/ory/keto/issues/104)

    Taking this simple approach allows us to provide a global, low latency, and consistent authorization system.

  • Keto only does authorization, independent of users, devices, bots, applications, ... Basically you store your ACLs there and then ask "is _subject_ allowed to do _relation_ on _object_". All the variables are whatever you define them to be.
