summary

OPAL is an open-source administration layer for OPA that adds Git as source-of-truth and real-time JSON patches to push policy and data updates; it runs a central server that tracks a git repo and lightweight clients that manage individual OPA agents and can fetch private data from LDAP, MongoDB, Stripe, etc. Claims: thousands of engineers use it at companies like Tesla and Zapier; it enables GitOps, CI/CD testing and approvals for Rego policies, and ships under Apache‑2 from opal.ac.
