Stream changes from a relation tuple changelog in near real-time to clients interested in changes to one or more authorizer namespaces.

access-watcher

An access-watcher serves Watch RPCs that stream changes from a relation tuple changelog in near real-time to clients interested in changes to one or more namespaces.

An instance of an access-watcher is similar to the watchserver implementation called out in the Google Zanzibar paper (see Section 3).

Getting Started

If you want to setup an instance of the Authorizer platform as a whole, browse the API References, or just brush up on the concepts and design of the platform, take a look at the official platform documentation. If you're only interested in running the access-watcher then continue on.

Setup and Installation

An access-watcher is not a standalone application. It is intended to be deployed alongside an existing access-controller deployment. Setting up an access-watcher will fail if an existing access-controller has not been deployed.

Pre-compiled Binaries

Download the latest release an extract it.

$ ./bin/access-watcher -config <config-path> -grpc-port 50052
