Overview

This product analysis examines an example of using Clerk with Cerbos in a SvelteKit application. Cerbos is an open-source authorization-as-a-service option that allows for decoupled access control in software. It uses human-readable policy definitions to determine access control policies for application resources. Clerk is used as the identity provider in this example, and the SvelteKit application connects with Clerk for authentication and Cerbos for authorization.
