Topaz 0.30 – OSS authz service combining the best of OPA and Zanzibar
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!

In plain words
Topaz is an open-source authorization service that combines authorization patterns from OPA and Zanzibar. Version 0.30 adds a new authorization schema language, a built-in visual console, REST APIs for the ReBAC directory, and a test harness. It is designed for developers building authorization systems into applications and APIs who need flexible policy management and relationship-based access control capabilities.

Hey HN, I recently shared my thoughts on why Google Zanzibar is a great solution for implementing authorization[1] and why we decided to build Warrant’s core authz service using key concepts from the Zanzibar paper. As I mentioned in the post, we recently open sourced the authz service powering our managed cloud service, Warrant Cloud[2], so I thought I’d share it with everyone here. Cheers!

Hey HN I've been using ECS for a while now and found it annoying having to log into the console everytime I use Lens for Kubernetes but couldnt find an equivalent for ECS so i built one! The project is open source as well https://github.com/utibeabasi6/mercek

With the recent changes around Localstack pricing/licensing I've been hunting for alternatives. I decided that it might be a fun experiment to try rolling my own. SQS is a service I use heavily so I chose that as the first service to implement. I have more services planned and in development. A few things I think are cool: 4MB Docker Image Size Instant Startup AWS Sigv4 Authentication A little admin UI that can be helpful for development/troubleshooting Most of the SQS API implemented, the rest will soon follow :)
