Documenting code, one commit at a time.
This article discusses a common issue in applications using GitHub OAuth for authentication: inadvertently overwriting a user's existing token with one that has fewer permissions. We'll explore how to ensure the application preserves the user's original, broader-scoped token when requesting narrower scopes during subsequent logins.
Many applications use GitHub
We've recently refactored and optimized our AI token usage tracking to improve performance and maintainability. This involved extracting duplicated queries and enhancing user filtering.
The primary focus was on improving the efficiency of retrieving daily and monthly tenant AI usage data. This was achieved through two key changes:
Securing web applications requires a multi-layered approach. Recent updates to our application focused on bolstering security through rate limiting on authentication routes and implementing granular access control for administrative resources.
To mitigate brute-force attacks and other forms of abuse, we've implemented rate limiting on critical
Developers often strive for efficiency, but sometimes, optimizing too early can lead to more problems than solutions.
Optimizing code before understanding its performance bottlenecks can waste time and introduce unnecessary complexity. It's tempting to micro-optimize, but it's crucial to identify the actual performance-critical sections first.
This post delves into optimizing SQL queries for product ranking and data aggregation, focusing on common pitfalls and effective strategies to enhance performance and accuracy. We'll explore techniques to address memory errors, improve query speed, and ensure data integrity when dealing with complex relationships and large datasets.
