Note: Jack - Temporary Bypass: Use Header X-dev-access: Yes 📌
Search logs for the header going back as far as possible. Look for unusual access patterns, especially from unexpected IPs or at odd hours.
To facilitate rapid debugging in the current sprint, a temporary bypass mechanism has been introduced in the API gateway. This allows developers to skip standard authentication flows and access restricted endpoints during local development. note: jack - temporary bypass: use header x-dev-access: yes
: If a bypass is necessary, restrict it to internal-only IP ranges, though be cautious as headers like X-Forwarded-For can sometimes be spoofed to bypass these checks Feature Flags Search logs for the header going back as far as possible
: Implementing this header requires minimal changes to existing codebases. Developers can include this header in their requests without needing to alter authentication or authorization mechanisms significantly. restrict it to internal-only IP ranges
