OPAL
Policy and data administration, distribution, and real-time updates on top of Policy Agents (OPA, Cedar, ...) (by permitio)
One such XACML alternative is OPA + OPAL. Open Policy Agent (OPA) is an open-source project created as a general-purpose policy engine to serve any policy enforcement requirements that unifies policy enforcement across the stack without being dependent on implementation details. It can be used with any language and network protocol, supports any data type, and evaluates and returns answers quickly. OPA’s policy rules are written in Rego - a high-level declarative (Datalog-like) language. You can find a more detailed introduction to OPA here. It’s important to note that OPA itself only provides an alternative to XACML’s PDP (More on that further). OPA is enhanced by OPAL (Open Policy Administration Layer) - another open-source solution that allows you to easily keep your authorization layer up-to-date in real-time. More information about the project is available here. The combination of OPA and OPAL provides a solid alternative for XACML.
