> 2. ORMs do not hide SQL nastiness.
This is certainly true!
I mean: ORMs are now well known to "make the easy queries slightly more easy, while making intermediate queries really hard and complex queries impossible".
I think the are of ORMs is over. It simply did not deliver.
If a book on SQL is --say-- 100 pages, a book on Hibernate is 400 pages. So much to learn just to make the easy queries slightly easier to type? Just not worth it.
I prefer jooq any day over ORMs. And dont get me started over what tools like Hasuna have to offer.
There are also some languages (forgot the names) that are SQL-done-right. Select in the back, more type safe, more logic, more in the same steps as the query gets executed. These need to be adopted by PG and MySQL and we're good to go. (IMHO)

https://casbin.org/ (multiple approaches, multiple languages, provider) Open source authZ library that has support for many access control models (ACL, RBAC, ABAC, …) and many languages (Go, Java, Node.js, JS, Rust, …). While somewhat complex, it is also powerful and flexible. They also have their Casdoor platform, which is authN and authZ provider.

However, in this piece we're focusing on the PBAC model also known as Policy-Based Access Control and how it differentiates itself these from traditional access control models in terms of scalability, flexibility and security.
Another tool that can help you deploy a Policy as Code-based solution in 2024 is OPAL, the Open Policy Administration Layer. OPAL is an open-source project that provides a comprehensive policy-based service for applications. With one click, you can deploy a full architecture of a Git-based centralized policy store with decentralized policy engines running as a sidecar with your applications. OPAL also provides a unified architecture to sync all the data you need with the policy engines.
It is also interesting to meet the community : the TAGs (Tech Advisor Group) which provide strategic guidance and advice on technical issues, as well as the SIGs (Special Interest Group) which focuses on areas of interest or specific expertise within the Kubernetes community to drive development and innovation. The TAGs are specialized by areas, for example on security or environmental sustainability.

Project mention: A list of SaaS, PaaS and IaaS offerings that have free tiers of interest to devops and infradev | dev.to | 2024-02-05Warrant — Hosted enterprise-grade authorization and access control service for your apps. The free tier includes 1 million monthly API requests and 1,000 authz rules.
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.
