Cerbos is an open-source, cloud-native authorization engine (Policy Decision Point) that evaluates access policies at runtime. It processes authorization requests via gRPC and HTTP APIs, enforcing policies defined in YAML using RBAC, ABAC, and derived roles. The system ingests policies from multiple storage backends (disk, Git, SQL databases, cloud blob storage, Cerbos Hub) and compiles them into an optimized rule table with a bitmap-based index for low-latency evaluation. The rule table uses CEL (Common Expression Language) for condition evaluation, with partial evaluation for query planning. Architecturally, Cerbos is a Go monorepo producing two main binaries: `cerbos` (server + CLI tools) and `cerbosctl` (admin CLI). The server exposes gRPC/HTTP endpoints for CheckResources and PlanResources, along with admin, playground, and AuthZEN-compliant APIs. It includes built-in observability with OpenTelemetry metrics/tracing, structured logging, audit logging (local, Kafka, Hub), and telemetry. The evaluation engine is highly optimized with lazy dimension materialization, program caching, and functional core sharing to minimize memory and latency. External dependencies include protobuf, gRPC, CEL, OpenTelemetry, and various storage drivers (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, Kafka, BadgerDB, cloud SDKs). The project is designed for Kubernetes deployment (sidecar, service, daemonset), AWS Lambda, and systemd. It also provides a CLI for policy management, testing, and debugging, including a REPL for interactive condition evaluation.
Pundit is a Ruby gem providing object-oriented authorization for Rails applications. It defines policy classes (plain Ruby objects) with query methods like `update?` and scope classes for scoping records. The core is a `Pundit::Context` that handles authorization, policy finding, and caching. It integrates with Rails controllers via `Pundit::Authorization` mixin, offering `authorize`, `policy`, `policy_scope`, and strong parameter helpers. It includes RSpec matchers for testing policies and generators for Rails. The architecture is clean, well-tested, and actively maintained.
This repository is a web application for generating privacy policies and terms of service for mobile and web apps. Built with Vue.js 3 and Bulma CSS, it features an 8-step wizard interface where users configure policy type (Simple, No Tracking, GDPR), app details, platforms, features, and third-party services. The application generates customized HTML/Markdown policies deployable to Flycricket or downloadable directly. It includes a PWA with service worker for offline support, internationalization (English/German), and a persistent theme toggle. The architecture centers on Vue composables for state management (app state, wizard navigation, content generation) and a Go-based build system that processes Go templates, compiles Less to CSS, and minifies assets. Key reusable patterns include modular template mixins, a flexible modal system, and utility functions for DOM manipulation. An ancillary tool in `tools/reviews-page-generator` fetches GitHub issue comments to generate a static testimonials page. The codebase demonstrates strong engineering practices: comprehensive Playwright test suite, golden HTML regression tests, dependency management via Go modules and package.json, and automated deployment workflows. While the custom build pipeline adds slight complexity, the separation of concerns and reusable components indicate maintainable, craftsmanship-driven development.
Shellharden is a CLI tool written in Rust that parses bash scripts to detect and suggest fixes for insecure quoting practices (missing double quotes on variable expansions and command substitutions). It functions as a corrective syntax highlighter, outputting the script with color-coded syntax and background highlights for suggested changes. The tool supports modes: highlighting, diff, transform (apply changes), check (exit with code 2 if changes needed), and replace (in-place file modification). The core architecture is a stack-based state machine where each parsing context (command, argument, string, comment, heredoc, variable, etc.) is represented by a separate struct implementing the `Situation` trait. Input bytes are processed through a horizon buffer, and the machine outputs colored or transformed bytes. The code is self-contained with zero external Rust dependencies, relying only on the standard library. It includes a comprehensive test suite with unit tests for individual parsing states and integration tests using real bash scripts. The project demonstrates careful handling of bash's syntactic edge cases, such as nested substitutions, heredocs, associative arrays, and the complex quoting rules of backticks vs `$()`.
This repository is a Chinese-language chatbot built with Rasa 1.10.18, a now-deprecated version of the Rasa framework. It implements a simple customer service bot for telecom queries (phone bill and data usage) using a BERT-based NLU pipeline (HFTransformersNLP with bert-base-chinese) and a rule-based dialogue management system with story-driven flows. The codebase is minimal: a single custom action for querying consumption, a few intents and entities, and a set of dialogue stories. The project is functional but lacks tests, CI/CD, or modern Rasa practices. The pinned dependencies (rasa==1.10.18, transformers==2.4.1) are severely outdated, and the code relies on deprecated Rasa components. While the repository has accumulated stars (983) due to its accompanying blog series, the actual code is a basic Rasa template with little reusable craftsmanship. It serves as a learning example for building a Chinese chatbot with Rasa 1.x, but is not suitable for production or reuse without significant modernization.
