Show HN: Topaz 0.30 – OSS authz service combining the best of OPA and Zanzibar

by ogazitt on 11/6/23, 4:02 PM with 16 comments

Hey folks! As Topaz turns a year old, we just released a big update, including support for a new authorization schema language, a built-in visual console, REST APIs for the ReBAC directory, a full test harness, and many other improvements.

Would love to get your feedback! Check out the blog post [0] for the complete details (including some cool screenshots), or clone / fork the repo here [1]. Many thanks!

    Been fun to watch this project progress. I have tried it out in a few apps before. Love the test harness, that's super useful!

    How does this compare to other CNCF solutions like OpenFGA and OPA?

    It is great to see this release coming together. I am working on a new app right now. While authentication is a solved problem with services like Auth0, how to set up a robust authorization mechanism left me scratching my head. With Topaz, the decision to not built it myself was easy. Topaz is to AuthZ what Auth0 is to AuthN. Congrats on the release, very timely!

    Congrats! Great to see the evolution and love how it scales. If I never have to implement authZ again, that will be a happy day :-)
