Can you self host this? Feels dangerous to check an external service for RBAC.

Hi! We provide an on-prem version (as part of our enterprise tier); but better yet the SaaS solution itself is hybrid- meaning we provide a microservice for authorization for you (aka the PDP), and it answers all the queries locally from memory cache - which is great for security, but also latency (sub 10ms as a sidecar), and availability.

Updates are done through OPAL (https://opal.ac) - which has a a zero trust architecture (it sends instructions on how to get the data instead of the data itself) based on topics scoped with security tokens.

You can read all about it here: - https://docs.permit.io/concepts/control-plane-and-data-plane...
