PR Feedback

• 💡 General suggestions: The PR is well-structured and the changes are straightforward. The addition of access token support is a good enhancement for security. However, it would be beneficial to consider error handling for the case where the access token is not provided or is invalid. Also, it would be good to consider the case where the secret file from which the access token is loaded does not exist or cannot be read.

• 🤖 Code feedback:

  • relevant file: adapters/v1/backend.go
    suggestion: Consider adding error handling for the case where the access token is not provided or is invalid. This could be done by checking if the access token is empty and returning an error in such cases. [important]

  • relevant file: cmd/http/main.go
    suggestion: Consider adding error handling for the case where the secret file from which the access token is loaded does not exist or cannot be read. This could be done by checking if the file exists before trying to read from it and returning an error if it does not exist. [important]
    relevant line: sd, err := config.LoadSecret("/etc/access-token-secret")

  • relevant file: adapters/v1/backend_utils.go
    suggestion: Consider adding a check to ensure that the Authorization header is correctly formed. This could be done by checking if the access token is correctly prefixed with "Bearer ". [medium]
