Our co-founders have seen firsthand how the implementation and management or roles and permissions can turn into a nightmare as your application grows. Tangled access control rules buried deep in your business logic, adding a new role feels like navigating a complex maze of if/else statementsโฆ
Which is why 3 years ago, we released Cerbos PDP (and are continuing to work on it actively).

What is Cerbos PDP?
Cerbos PDP (Policy Decision Point) is an open source authorization layer designed to grow with your product. It allows developers to define powerful, context-aware access controls through simple, intuitive, and testable policies. Hereโs a video explaining how it works.
Latest updates weโve introduced:
- Improved error reporting with better error descriptions and contextual information to help debug access policies issues faster.
- Support for policy versioning and scoping within policy conditions, allowing for more fine-grained control over authorization logic.
- Policy inspection via the command line. The cerbosctl inspect command allows investigation of policies, showing what actions each policy coversโ.
- Artifact signing and SBOM generation. All Cerbos release artifacts,binaries and containers, are now signed using Sigstore, making them verifiable.
- Development environment linked Playground enables developers to author policies and in real time see their impact in the application they are developing.
