Styra announced Styra Load.
This new product offering advances the capabilities of OPA, and alleviates the effects of data-heavy authorization while reducing infrastructure costs and increasing authorization performance for platform engineering teams. Purpose-built for enterprises managing authorization with large data sets, Styra Load dramatically reduces CPU and memory consumption at the policy decision point and optimizes data distribution. Styra Load is a backwards-compatible distribution of OPA, using ten times less memory and 40% less CPU footprint.
“As enterprises continue to turn their sights on building new cloud-native applications, engineering teams are bogged down by data-heavy authorization and ever-rising infrastructure costs,” said Tim Hinrichs, Co-founder and CTO at Styra. “Our goal with Styra Load is to help alleviate these issues by providing engineering teams scaling with OPA an opportunity to securely restructure their architecture around their essential, ever-growing data and improve performance, efficiency and time-to-market. We are committed to providing the best solutions for the growing OPA community to streamline operations for developers and engineering teams.”
Styra Load is an enterprise-grade authorization engine built to provide resource-efficient performance for data-heavy workloads that can:
- Reduce costs of data-heavy authorization: Reduce OPA’s memory overhead by 10x and gain the ability to get 40% more CPU throughput, at the policy decision point.
- Optimize authorization performance: Natively connect to data sources without custom code – reduce development costs and get into production quickly.
- Minimize risk with powerful analysis: See business impact early with policy validation before enforcement and throughout the policy lifecycle, shrinking deployment failure, and costly security issues.
Styra Load provides out-of-the-box data source integrations so teams can quickly connect to the data sources that inform their authorization logic and get to answering production authorization requests. This new product has also been integrated with the Styra Declarative Authorization Service (DAS) Decision Replay feature, which is now offered as a live impact analysis available directly within Styra Load.
