summary
Open Policy Agent is a 50MB general purpose policy engine used for Kubernetes admission control, microservice authorization and CI/CD checks; policies are written in Rego and evaluated from JSON/YAML inputs. The uploader describes integration into a real deployment of 700 microservices, with OPA run as sidecars or compiled to WASM and returning decisions in sub-millisecond latency. Ecosystem tools include Gatekeeper, conftest and a control plane for bundles and decision logging. Project stats: ~300 contributors, 80+ integrations and extensive unit testing and built‑in functions.
