  • Open Policy Agent

    OPA is a great tool for implementing a policy-as-code system. But if you're trying to use it for application authorization (e.g. fine-grained authz for B2B SaaS or a set of internal applications), you may find that its policy story is strong, but it doesn't really have a "data plane": you either store data in a data.json file and rebuild the policy any time that data changes, or make an http.send call out of the policy to fetch dynamic data.

    Check out Topaz [0], which uses OPA as its decision engine, but adds a data plane that is based on the ReBAC ideas explored in the Google Zanzibar [1] paper.

    Disclaimer: I work on the team [2] that builds and maintains the Topaz project.

    You can, simply use the topazd.exe binary from the topaz_windows_x86_64.zip from the GH releases page (https://github.com/aserto-dev/topaz/releases). Note this is currently not a Windows Service, so not net start topaz. Let me know if that would be interesting.
  • OPA (Open Policy Agent) VS topaz - a user suggested alternative
    2 projects | 25 Jul 2023
    Topaz is an open-source authorization project for cloud-native applications. It uses OPA as the decision engine and supports Rego policy as first-class citizens. It also has an embedded relationship database to support data-centric authorization models like Google Zanzibar's relationship-based access controls (ReBAC).
