The OPA Community repository is a support and discussion hub for the Open Policy Agent ecosystem and its sub-projects including Conftest and Gatekeeper.
This repository addresses the need for centralized community support around OPA and policy-as-code tooling. It hosts a discussions board where users can ask questions about problems with OPA and Rego, the policy language. The approach emphasizes peer support and knowledge sharing, with guidance encouraging users to include code examples, link to a playground for testing, document troubleshooting steps already attempted, and reference related issues or discussions to build a searchable knowledge base.
The repository serves developers and teams adopting OPA who need help beyond documentation. It suits anyone working with OPA, Conftest for policy testing, or Gatekeeper for Kubernetes policy enforcement. Beyond the discussions board, the community also maintains a Slack channel for real-time help from maintainers, and commercial support options are available through the main OPA website for organizations requiring guaranteed response times or dedicated assistance.
The project operates as a community-driven support space with moderation and guidance for effective question-asking rather than as a codebase with active feature development.
