  • jspolicy-sdk

  • Since policies created with jsPolicy are written in JavaScript or TypeScript, you can use a testing framework like Mocha or Jest. You can use unit tests, functional tests, integration tests, or end-to-end tests. Note that it’s easier to verify the correctness of policies when they are loaded as an external JavaScript file. This also makes it easier to scale, isolate, and test the policies. For an example of creating tests with jsPolicy, check here.

  • vcluster

    vCluster - Create fully functional virtual Kubernetes clusters - Each vcluster runs inside a namespace of the underlying k8s cluster. It's cheaper than creating separate full-blown clusters and it offers better multi-tenancy and isolation than regular namespaces.

  • Loft Labs, the company that created and maintains jsPolicy, is gaining traction due to innovative tools like vcluster, an open source tool for creating virtual Kubernetes clusters. This visibility will likely help increase the adoption of jsPolicy.

  • OPA (Open Policy Agent)

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

  • Either engine could be a good choice for your business. Consider which factors are most relevant to your project and your use case before you make a decision. You can learn more about jsPolicy here and about OPA here.
