“Fly.io's tokenizer is a credential-injecting proxy”
simonw, I have been seeing "credential injection" and "credential tokenizing" (a la tokenizer: https://github.com/superfly/tokenizer). I'm also seeing credential "surrogates" mentioned. I am currently working on a mitm proxy for use with devcontainers to try to implement this pattern, but I'm certainly not the only one!
“See tokenizer[0] by the fly.io team, which makes it a stateless service”
“something similar is done with fly.io's tokenizer”
“I'm inspired by a lot of the fly.io stuff in tokenizer and sprites”
“How does it compare?”
