Cerbos Policy Decision Point

Cerbos provides an open-source authorization layer (Cerbos Policy Decision Point) and a managed authorization platform (Cerbos Hub) that enables developers to implement scalable and flexible access controls for their applications. It focuses on externalizing authorization logic, supporting various deployment models, and offering features like RBAC, ABAC, and audit logging.

Cerbos offers a policy decision point and a managed authorization platform (Cerbos Hub) that aligns with several features of Retool, particularly in terms of access control, API integration, and flexible deployment. While it doesn't offer a drag-and-drop UI builder or prebuilt React components like Retool, it provides the underlying authorization layer that internal tools often require. It supports code customization through policy definitions (YAML) and various SDKs, offers robust access control (RBAC, ABAC), flexible deployment options (self-hosted, serverless, sidecar), and includes audit logs and GitOps integration for version control. The 'Playground' can be seen as a debugging tool for policies, and its API-first approach allows for integration with various systems.
