Cerbos

Cerbos is an open-core, language-agnostic, scalable authorization platform that decouples access control from application code by externalizing fine-grained, context-aware permission decisions into policy-as-code. Authorization is expressed in YAML policies supporting RBAC, ABAC, PBAC, and ReBAC, evaluated by a stateless Policy Decision Point (PDP) that delivers sub-millisecond decisions at scale. The platform consists of the open-source Cerbos PDP (Apache 2.0), Cerbos Hub control plane (PAP), Cerbos Synapse enrichment layer, and PEP SDKs for Go, Java, JavaScript / TypeScript, .NET, PHP, Python, Ruby, and Rust. The PDP exposes both REST (port 3592) and gRPC (port 3593) interfaces, an Admin API, and standards- compliant OpenID AuthZEN endpoints, with query-plan adapters for Prisma and SQLAlchemy.

Cerbos publishes 9 APIs on the APIs.io network, including AuthZEN API, Admin Audit API, Admin Policies API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include ABAC, Access Control, Authorization, AuthZEN, and Open-Source.

Cerbos’ developer surface includes authentication, documentation, getting-started guide, GitHub presence, release notes, engineering blog, pricing, and 25 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Insurance regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/cerbos: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
