Auth0 + FaunaDB ABAC integration: How to expire Fauna user secrets.

Fauna doesn't (yet?) provide guaranteed expiration/TTL for ABAC tokens, so we need to implement it ourselves if we care about it.

What's in the box?

3 javascript functions, each of which can be imported into your project or run from the command-line using node path/to/script.js arg1 arg2 ... argN:

deploy-schema.js: a javascript function for creating supporting collections and indexes in your Fauna database.

Goal

use Auth0 for logins
retrieve a Fauna instance secret for the user (see Fauna's ABAC tutorial)
have the user’s device talk directly to Fauna's native graphql endpoint using their secret for authorization.

Solutions

At the very least, we need two pieces of functionality:

Create a user document in Fauna to represent each Auth0 user.
Exchange an Auth0 JWT for a FaunaDB user secret.

React recently introduced an experimental profiler API. This page gives instructions on how to use this API in a production release of your app.

Profiling in production

React DOM automatically supports profiling in development mode for v16.5+, but since profiling adds some small additional overhead it is opt-in for production mode. This gist explains how to opt-in.

Story: Writing Scripts with Go

This is a story about how I tried to use Go for scripting. In this story, I’ll discuss the need for a Go script, how we would expect it to behave and the possible implementations; During the discussion I’ll deep dive to scripts, shells, and shebangs. Finally, we’ll discuss solutions that will make Go scripts work.

Why Go is good for scripting?

While python and bash are popular scripting languages, C, C++ and Java are not used for scripts at all, and some languages are somewhere in between.

One of Newscorp's most heavily used data platforms, TCOG, is beginning a rebuild.

TCOG has 6 deployments taking high web traffic to deliver digital content for some of Australia's most downloaded sources of news and media.

The TCOG service loosely fits into a 'backend for the frontend' pattern that provides an API to front end clients to transform and render data from one or more upstream APIs by "smart URLs". See http://samnewman.io/patterns/architectural/bff/ for more information about the pattern.

Over time, the TCOG service has become monolithic. We have designed TCOG 1.5, which will consist of smaller services. We want you to help us build them! This project is a mixture of refactoring the existing and working on greenfield solutions to known problems. The new architectural direction is focussed on service patterns for caching, rendering and data transformation.

In addition, regular BAU work requires communication and support for the surrounding developers who build TCOG extensions to service the
