Worked on the pomerium/pomerium repository to enhance the security and reliability of URL value encryption and decryption. Developed a memory-limited path for the zstd decoder, enforcing a strict maximum memory cap to prevent excessive resource usage during backend operations. This approach included expanding test coverage to verify boundary conditions and ensure robust handling under memory pressure, particularly in high-load scenarios. Integrated an external fork contribution to further strengthen the codebase. The work focused on backend development, encryption, and comprehensive testing, utilizing Go to deliver a more resilient system for secure URL handling without addressing major bug fixes during this period.
