My weekend project: authorization game that made my engineers addicted

2

Hello, Product Hunt community! I built something cool last weekend. In between working on my startup and raising four kids, I wanted to get back to coding… So I built the Cerbos Game — a brain-teasing challenge where players match incoming requests to permission policies: just like what Cerbos does for software applications.

😀 Think you can make accurate permission decisions based on predefined rules? Give it a try: https://game.cerbos.dev/

This game disrupted our engineering team’s daily work while they were trying to beat the high score. Warning: it is really addictive…

If you’re up for the challenge, drop your score in the comments! Beat the top score, and we’ll send you a full pack of Cerbos swag. But fair warning—our engineering team has set the bar high.


And if you're wondering why I built it… it's a fun way to showcase how our product works and makes secure authorization decisions. Also, I really enjoy my hacking weekend.


(Thank you Vercel v0 for all the help)

21 is my high score so far

i don't think it'll be possible to beat the current high score of 100 up there.. at least for me :')


Super fun game, excited to see what others think!
