The latest release of Cerbos, includes performance and tooling improvements, new PHP & .NET SDKs, a major upgrade to the JavaScript SDK, and the addition of viewing the Query Plan in the Playground.
We have been working closely with users of Cerbos such as Utility Warehouse, 9fin, Salesroom, Refine, and Doorfeed on this release. We can’t wait to hear more on what you would like to see in future releases - join our Slack community to join the conversation.
Ecosystem: New .NET and PHP SDKs
Cerbos ecosystem is growing. Following on from last month's releases of Node and Ruby, we have now added SDKs for .NET and PHP.
These SDKs make calling and interacting with Cerbos a much more streamlined experience and provide native methods for constructing calls out to check authorization in your codebase. As with everything else with Cerbos, they are open-source and can be found on Github - .NET SDK repo, PHP SDK repo.
Blog highlights
It has been a busy month for Cerbos as conferences and events return to their full form. We have been fortunate to be asked to speak at a few of them.
The 2022 instalment of Collision took place in Toronto where we got to share how we see the world evolving to a more decoupled architecture and where Cerbos fits. You can watch the video here.
At Cloud DevOps Days 2022 we spoke about our experience of implementing and scaling authorization, and solving the never ending headache of user permissions. You can watch the video here.
We have a few more events lined up, including API World in October.
Butterworth describes how GitHub is used to build GitHub, particularly how GitOps is used to solve Identity and Access Management (IAM). GitHub wanted a solution that worked with their tools, was auditable, scalable, and well understood by developers. GitHub built and open-sourced Entitlements, which uses a Git repository for the source-of-truth, declarative authorization, and seamless integration with GitHub.com for approvals and audits.
Akinosho discusses the issues with building user permissions from scratch and how Cerbos can assist developers to replace complicated, hardcoded permissions logic with a simple API request. Akinosho also provides code snippets for running Cerbos, integrating the APIs, and seeing Cerbos policies in action.
This post is the second in a series about what developers need to keep in mind when sorting out security and compliance for their application. The first article in this series covered how to build security for user communications. The current one reviews what kinds of compliance certifications and regulations exist for SaaS applications, what they mean for developers, and how to begin the certification process for compliance standards.
Cerbos adoption is growing very fast and we need an experienced developer relations person as the face of Cerbos in the developer community. We’d love this person to engage with developers to discover and remedy pain points, produce accessible technical content and help build an inclusive community of Cerbos users.
If you know amazing DevRel professionals who we should be talking to, please ask them to consider Cerbos.
