Hey everyone! 👋 Hope your week is off to a good start We just published a guide for anyone deciding between running the open source Cerbos engine on its own, or using to the full Cerbos authorization management platform. The short version is that the open source engine is complete and stays that way, so for a single service it’s often all you need. But once you have more than one service, more than one environment, or anyone asking for an audit trail, the platform is what keeps authorization maintainable as it grows. The guide walks through what the paid side actually gives you: policy pushed to every instance in seconds, your tests run in CI, searchable audit logs you can trace back to the exact policy, the identity and resource data each decision needs pulled in for you, and more.
