Using Rego for cloud configuration is awful. Use Really: policy-as-code built for humans.
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.
Yet Another Config Language (YACL)
Why did we invest millions of dollars in time to build Yet Another Config Language (YACL)?
