In June 2025, Patz developed a security-focused feature for the grafana/grafana-infinity-datasource repository, introducing a keepCookies option to the datasource configuration. This enhancement, implemented using Go and TypeScript, allows operators to selectively forward cookies from the browser to the backend only when explicitly specified, reducing unnecessary cookie exposure in cross-origin requests. Patz’s approach centered on conditional logic tied to the jsonData.keepCookies setting, providing finer control over user session data and improving privacy by default. The work demonstrated depth in backend development, configuration management, and data source integration, and included updates to documentation to support onboarding and usage of the new option.

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).
