Rationale
Oso is an authorization-as-a-service platform that allows developers to define and enforce fine-grained access control across applications, RAG pipelines, and AI agents. It provides a flexible DSL (Polar) for defining authorization logic, integrates with various data sources and APIs, and offers SDKs for multiple languages. While it doesn't directly offer a drag-and-drop UI builder or prebuilt React components for general internal tools, its core offering aligns strongly with the authorization and integration aspects of the Retool concept. The platform explicitly supports API & Database Integrations, Code Customization (via Polar DSL and SDKs), Access Control & Security (its primary function), Flexible Deployments (cloud or self-hosted), Debugging & Monitoring (troubleshooting tools, logs), Version Control Integration (CI/CD, Git-based workflows), and AI & LLM Integration (permissions for AI-native apps, RAG, agents).

[Product] vs Competitor B - which one should I choose?
Reddit·confused_buyer·Oct 14·+67
Honestly, after trying both, Competitor B wins hands down. Better customer support, cleaner interface, and they don't nickel and dime you for every feature.
Why we migrated away from [Product]
Hacker News·cto_mike·Oct 11·+234
The breaking point was when they changed their API without notice. We lost 3 days of productivity. Solution C has been rock solid for us since we switched.
