Why spend effort on this at all? Just don't run anything on HTTP. Devs don't need hand holding. Should you run your API on `localhos` in case they typo the hostname? Why does everything have to be so complicated?

by davedx 2y ago
Yeah, on reflection I disagree with the premise these are "laws", they're more "tendencies". I also don't agree complexity is necessarily a moat. Sometimes it drives customers away to simpler, less expensive so

These are definitely not laws but consequences of bad engineering culture. I’ve worked on well designed systems that stayed well designed. For example one I remember that was very solid: How? The team had enough support and autonomy from ma

This is better, and the only way to really prevent the primary problem. Why would an API be on HTTP at all?

Depends on your business. Most b2b companies probably don’t need to care about invalidation, at least not in the startup phase. For B2C it’s going to be more important. But ask yourself “why do I need to pre-emptively invalidate tokens?”

If someone nefarious steals your <secret something> then yes you have problems, this isn’t anything unique to JWTs

by davedx 2y ago
Okay I'll bite... This post doesn't seem to address microservice architectures at all? For me, this is the primary reason to use JWT's -- so you can pass authentication ("claims", or whatever you want to call them)

It's definitely an echo chamber. Most companies definitely do not want to become "unicorns" - most SME's around the world don't even know what a "unicorn" is, let alone be in an industry/sector where

It's a great idea, but the pricing seems high - $30/month minimum? I'm running 3 apps on Fly.io and I'm still so low in the pricing that they're invoicing me $0. I will pay for the convenience of a PaaS - but not th

Yup - I worked on a data warehouse project that was subject to GDPR. The way we did it is we didn't do any synthetic data generation, we just blanked out any PII fields with "DELETED". Then it's still possible to action

It depends on the use case though. It's not just about developers testing locally. One use case that many companies have is data warehousing. Here, you want to have real customer and order data, but anonymized to a degree where only th

No, you're not reading it wrong, there are a lot of extremely negative comments on this thread that just aren't accurate. Limited companies are just like LLC's. There's so much nonsense being posted here
