Just two weeks back BitBucket Pipelines also went the same route - https://www.atlassian.com/blog/bitbucket/announcing-v5-self-... .

I do not know what route are these companies taking. Microsoft has been crazy for past 2-3 years, but it is sad to see BitBucket and other alternatives also taking similar route :/

Any feedback on how it comes along for regular Software Development (backend stuff) activity and as a common home PC? Looking at the benchmarks looks like there shouldn't be any issue but any first hand experience would be greatly appreciated.

Understandable in this case. But if the playground is of a developed nation (like US, Canada, Singapore, etc.) then unlikely that kids would be playing.

In India, personal data is not yet taken seriously with both educated and un-educated people. It would take some time but I believe this realisation will come over time in people.

From technical standpoint, I find the details interesting. However, this irresponsible disclosure of vulnerability troubles me. I am guessing that last year, Indian government has passed the bill of PDPA (https://www.meity.gov.in/writereaddata/files/Digital%20Perso...) if I am not mistaken. Even though irresponsible disclosure of vulnerability is not explicitly mentioned in this Act, but I am pretty sure that such irresponsible disclosure are enough for the author to land into trouble.

Leaving PDPA aside, as a Software professional I find this act kiddy and unethical. 10 years back I found a major vulnerability bug in an major multinational bank where I was able to see monthly statements of any person. I reported this to the bank and they took approx 1 year to fix that. I did not even mention about this bug to my friends or my CV till it was fixed.

Next month I will be publishing a blog on this topic. I will share the link here as well.

For Java applications, we built a structured logging library which would do a few things -

  - Add OTel based instrumentation to generate traces
  - Do salted hash of PII (injected in plain text by API Gateway in each request) like userid, etc to propagate internally to other downstream services via Baggage
  - Inject all this context like trace-id and hashed PIIs into log
  - Have Log4j and Logback Layout implementations to structure logs in JSON format

Logs are compressed and ingested to AWS S3 so it is also not expensive to store so much logs to S3.

AWS provides a tool called S3Select to search structured logs/info in S3. We built a Golang Cobra based cli tool, which is aware of the structure we have defined and allows us to search for logs in all possible ways, even with PII info even without saving.

In just 2 months, with 2 people we were able to build this stack and integrate to 100+ microservices and get rid of Cloudwatch. This not just saved us a lots of money on Cloudwatch side but also improved our capability to search to logs with a lot of context when issues happens.
