Summary: Run OPA in Apache APISIX via WASM
Key: COMDEV-444
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMDEV-444
Project: Community Development
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: GSoC/Mentoring ideas
Reporter: Zexuan Luo
*Apache APISIX*
Apache APISIX is a dynamic, real-time, high-performance API gateway, based on
the Nginx library and etcd.
APISIX provides rich traffic management features such as load balancing,
dynamic upstream, canary release, circuit breaking, authentication,
observability, and more.
You can use Apache APISIX to handle traditional north-south traffic, as well as
east-west traffic between services. It can also be used as a k8s ingress
controller.
* Background*
OPA (https://www.openpolicyagent.org/) is policy-based control for cloud native
environments.
Its rule can be compiled as Wasm code:
https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/latest/wasm/
And Apache APISIX supports running Wasm code.
*Task*
1. add opm-wasm support in https://github.com/api7/wasm-nginx-module. It should
be parallel as the proxy-wasm support.
2. update https://github.com/apache/apisix/blob/master/apisix/plugins/opa.lua
to support loading OPA rules as Wasm.
*Relevant Skills*
1. Understand Wasm & OPA
2. Have good skills at C & Lua
Targets files
1. https://github.com/apache/apisix/blob/master/apisix/plugins/opa.lua
2. https://github.com/api7/wasm-nginx-module
