Cerbos
Open-source authorization layer for decoupled access control
Cerbos is an open-source, stateless authorization service that provides centralized access control policy management for microservices and applications. Teams write human-readable YAML policies defining who can do what under which conditions, and Cerbos evaluates these policies via a sidecar or gRPC/REST API. Unlike embedding permission logic in application code, Cerbos makes authorization auditable, testable, and independently deployable—a critical separation of concerns for regulated industries.
