Cerbos v0.16 is available
The latest release of Cerbos, v0.16, includes a new unified API for checking permissions, promotion of the Query Plan to GA, and several updates to the REPL.
Unified API
This release introduces a new, unified API to simplify the Cerbos API surface and remove the need to understand the subtle differences between different calls depending on the kinds of resources.
Query Plan goes GA
The Query Plan API produces a datastore-agnostic set of constraints that must be met by the resource instances to comply with access rules defined in policies.
REPL Updates
The Cerbos REPL gains the ability to load policies and interactively evaluate the conditions defined in them. This empowers policy authors to debug, develop, and test complex conditions with rapid feedback and no context switching.
Expanding on the ecosystem of SDKs available for Cerbos, Python and Rust both now have an official Cerbos SDK.
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 - Python SDK repo, Rust SDK repo.
