Cerbos
An open-core, language-agnostic authorization solution for implementing and managing context-aware access control policies.
What is Cerbos?
Cerbos is an open-core, language-agnostic authorization solution that simplifies implementing and managing user permissions. It allows developers to write context-aware access control policies for application resources in YAML, providing APIs to evaluate these policies dynamically. It solves the problem of complex, hard-coded authorization logic by separating it from the main application code.
Developers and engineering teams building applications that require fine-grained, scalable access control across microservices or complex systems.
Developers choose Cerbos for its simplicity in defining policies as code, its language-agnostic design that works with any tech stack, and its ability to scale from RBAC to complex ABAC without refactoring application logic.
Overview
Cerbos is the open core, language-agnostic, scalable authorization solution that makes user permissions and authorization simple to implement and manage by writing context-aware access control policies for your application resources.
