In June 2025, Patz contributed to the grafana/grafana-infinity-datasource repository by implementing a security-focused feature for cookie handling. Patz developed a keepCookies option within the datasource configuration, enabling selective forwarding of cookies from the browser to the backend only when explicitly specified. This approach, using Go and TypeScript, enhanced both backend development and configuration management by reducing unnecessary cookie exposure in cross-origin requests. The solution provided operators with granular control over user session data, improving privacy by default. Patz also updated documentation and onboarding materials to reflect the new option, demonstrating a thoughtful and thorough engineering process within the project.
June 2025: Focused on security-conscious cookie handling in grafana/grafana-infinity-datasource. Implemented selective cookie forwarding by adding a keepCookies option to the datasource config, allowing cookies to be forwarded to the backend only when explicitly specified. This reduces cookie exposure and provides operators with finer control over user session data. Commit 2981e6684b04b6a90487592078b0453925c76368 implements the forwarding behavior when jsonData.keepCookies is set (issue #1258).
