Wondering which to choose for your next project? By the end of the article, you'll have a clear understanding of when to opt for REST and when to consider the power of gRPC.

Lenient scope search in Cerbos policies

One of the features in Cerbos' latest release, v0.29 is Lenient Scope Search. Crafted to enhance flexibility, this feature is a game-changer in Cerbos policy management. Cerbos can now efficiently search for policies within scopes that share the same hierarchy, eliminating the need for policies at every single leaf-level.

Learn more about the possibilities offered by Lenient Scope Search with Cerbos v0.29.
