Support Cerbos @ GitHub: github.com/cerbos/cerbos 🌟🌟🌟

Terminology breakdown:

  • Cerbos PDP: a(n open source, self-hosted) component that evaluates application requests against authZ policies to make access decisions; determining whether a user action on a resource is allowed.

  • Cerbos Hub: a control plane that helps you manage and sync PDP instances across your apps and services, increasing security through consistency in policies everywhere, and saving you hours.

  • Embedded PDP: a (cloud-hosted) component offering a way to run code across multiple web environments efficiently; lets you deploy authorization logic closer to user interactions, even further reducing latency and improving performance.
