I'm the cofounder/CTO of oso. Today we're opening oso up in Developer Preview and we're keen to hear your feedback.
In our earliest discussions building oso, we knew we wanted to build something to make it easier to add authorization to an application, but kept struggling with how to cleanly separate policies from an application while still retaining access to all the underlying classes, methods and data. The approach we landed on solves this problem by embedding oso as a library in the application and giving it direct access to all those things.
This is one of the problems we thought about when building oso, there are many more. oso is also written in Rust, which we think is a good choice for security software, and makes it possible to embed in different languages/environments. I'll stick around to answer any questions!
