Move authorization closer to your applications. Eliminate network latency, single points of failure, and unlock context-aware access decisions.
Hybrid architecture combining centralized governance with distributed enforcement
See how your existing authorization relationships transform into clear, evaluable Cedar policies
if (user.role === 'admin' ||
user.teamId === doc.ownerId) {
return doc;
}const allowed = await db.query(
`SELECT * FROM permissions
WHERE user_id = ?`, [userId]
);const decoded = jwt.verify(token, SECRET);
if (decoded.permissions.includes('write')
&& decoded.scope === resource.scope) {
return true;
}permit(
principal,
action == Action::"view",
resource
) when {
// Team ownership check
principal.team == resource.owner
};
permit(
principal in Group::"editors",
action,
resource
);
permit(
principal,
action,
resource
) when {
resource.public == true
};Traditional centralized authorization creates performance bottlenecks and single points of failure. ZStrike moves authorization to the last mile—right where your applications run.
Leverage locally cached data stored in the Entity Store for lightning-fast policy evaluation. Keep authorization data constantly up-to-date by syncing with your existing infrastructure—LDAP directories, databases, or REST APIs—ensuring fresh context without network latency.
Define policies centrally, enforce them locally. Our Policy-as-Code approach combines centralized governance with distributed enforcement for the best of both worlds.
Deploy authorization as a sidecar alongside your applications. Perfect for Kubernetes and microservices architectures requiring service-level autonomy.
