Hey community :wave: I’m wondering if anyone has every come up against the scenario described in this section in the Cerbos documentation: <https://docs.cerbos.dev/cerbos/latest/policies/best_practices.html#_map_of_relations>

It says here that certain expressions (here, struct indexing), can cause overly complex query plans to be generated. I would be really interested to know if this is the only example where this is the case.

Hello! Sorry for the delay on this. I found the original issue which should provide context: <https://github.com/cerbos/cerbos/issues/1263>

If I’d read further I’d have realised that that particular optimisation has been carried out. That documentation is now defunct so we’ll remove it! Thanks for flagging
