Love the growing number of OSS Zanzibar implementations, and congrats to the Aserto team for launching Topaz!

Ory Keto's intro video @ SV IAM User Group [0] is worth a watch.

Other OSS Zanzibar implementations:

- https://github.com/authzed/spicedb

- https://github.com/Permify/permify

- https://github.com/openfga/openfga

That's cool! What's neat about Topaz is that it combines the Zanzibar approach and the policy-as-code approach. That allows you to use the ReBAC, ABAC and RBAC authz patterns interchangeably.
Trying to set up Ory was really hard though.

It’s like all these ostensibly OS libraries deliberately make it hard to set up to drive you to their paid offering.

Would love any feedback you have on setting up Topaz, if you choose to give it a try! We built it to be useful completely standalone.
