This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on dev.to

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • OPA (Open Policy Agent)

    Open Policy Agent (OPA) is an open source, general-purpose policy engine.

    The ugly: Error handling with rego isn’t simple at all, and relying on this feature can lead to some frustrating results. While OPA and Rego can be used to evaluate policies very quickly, you may want to avoid adding more logic than you need.

  • OPAL

    Policy and data administration, distribution, and real-time updates on top of Policy Agents (OPA, Cedar, ...) (by permitio)

    OPAL is an open-source project for administering authorization and access control for OPA. OPAL responds to policy and data changes, pushes live updates to OPA agents, and thus brings open policy up to the speed needed by live applications.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
