Thanks Paul, Oso looks great.

Re: RLS:

Pros

- The simplicity+security is hard to beat

- Supabase is built around it. I really want the purity of just one platform.

Cons (in order)

- Our enterprise customers need regular oversight of policy + logs for their compliance (and our ongoing relationship). RLS doesn't expose that afaik.

- RLS can't control access to API end points in places like Edge Functions (again, afaik). Same for any 3rd party systems you might have mixed in.

- In my experience, RLS has quite a few foot guns in it as schemas migrate and evolve (security gaps open up, or recursion bites you).
