Really: Infra policy language that doesn't suck

Announcing Really

When we started building Resourcely, the global configuration engine for cloud infrastructure, we slowly realized that the status quo of policy-as-code was broken. Writing our first Resourcely guardrails in Rego took hours to create and even more time to maintain. Writing new policies was extremely tedious and time-intensive, especially given the fact that we wanted to make them flexible. To help achieve our mission of making infrastructure more secure, it became evident that a new policy language would be needed that allowed policy to be written and maintained without headaches.

The Resourcely team has spent the last 6 months working on developing that new policy language, and today we are introducing Really: a policy language and enforcement engine that is built to be written and read by humans - not machines. With the introduction of Really, policy can be created in minutes compared to hours, with a human-readable syntax that looks remarkably like SQL. The readability of our structured policy language means that writing, deciphering, and adjusting policy isn’t a nightmare, and your policy team can take vacation without worrying about their pager going off.
