ZStrike brings real-time, portable authorization that travels with your applications—across services, runtimes, and boundaries.
Not in a distant server. Not behind a network hop. Right here, at the last mile — where every millisecond and every decision matters.
Authorization that runs where your code runs, with the context it needs.
Authorization at the edge. Zero network hops means decisions in under 10ms, even at scale.
Distributed sidecars keep working when the control plane disconnects. Authorization never stops.
Decisions use real-time application state — user attributes, resource tags, environment.
Four components, one authorization layer.
Write declarative Cedar policies. RBAC, ABAC, ReBAC — all in one language.
Connect your identity providers, databases, and APIs. Entities sync to local stores.
Authorization engines run alongside your services. Works with any language or framework via gRPC/REST SDK.
Every decision logged with full context. Trace access paths, debug denials instantly.
Authorization logic buried across your codebase is impossible to audit, test, or govern. ZStrike consolidates everything into declarative Cedar policies.
if (user.role === 'admin' ||
user.teamId === doc.ownerId) {
return doc;
}const allowed = await db.query(
`SELECT * FROM permissions
WHERE user_id = ?`, [userId]
);const decoded = jwt.verify(token, SECRET);

}// Team ownership — replaces documents.js:47
permit(
principal,
action == Action::"view",
resource
) when {
principal.team == resource.owner
};
// Role-based access — replaces auth.js:123
permit(
principal in Group::"editors",
action,
resource
);
// Scoped write — replaces jwt.js:34
permit(
principal,
action == Action::"write",
resource
) when {
principal.scope == resource.scope
};
// Billing gate — replaces billing.js:89
forbid(
principal,
action,
resource
) when {
principal.plan == "free"
};Manage policies, entities, and audit trails from a single pane of glass — while enforcement stays distributed at the edge.
Author, version, and deploy Cedar policies across all your services from one place.
Connect identity providers, databases, and APIs. Keep principals, resources, and attributes up to date automatically.
Real-time visibility into every permit and deny. Filter, search, and debug access issues in seconds.
Every authorization decision is logged with full context — who requested access, what policy evaluated, and why it was permitted or denied.
Why modern architectures need authorization at the edge.
