Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

GCP runtime identity: project/region metadata, Cloud Run URLs, OIDC mint/verify

Readme

@webpieces/gcp-identity

GCP runtime identity for webpieces services (Node-only). Everything is read from the GCP metadata server / ADC at runtime — nothing is configured. Off-GCP (local dev, tests) every call falls back to a deterministic localhost value so no GCP is needed.

  • getProjectId() / getNumericProjectId() / getRegion() — cached metadata lookups
  • getServiceName() — this service's name from K_SERVICE, verbatim, else 'local'
  • getSelfCloudRunUrl() — this service's own base URL
  • gcpCloudRunDeriver() — the GCP half of URL resolution: svcNamehttps://<svc>-<projectNumber>.<region>.run.app. Install it once at startup with ClientRegistry.setDeriver(gcpCloudRunDeriver()) and every same-project/same-region peer resolves with no URL table. Off GCP (a CLI, CI) pass the values instead: gcpCloudRunDeriver(new GcpCloudRunTarget(projectNumber, region))
  • getRuntimeServiceAccountEmail() — the SA this process runs as
  • mintIdToken(audience) — Google-signed OIDC ID token (a dev-oidc.* token off-GCP)
  • verifyOidcFromCallers(idToken, callers) — verify + allow-list the caller SA

Underpins the @AuthOidc service-to-service auth mode enforced by ServiceAuthFilter and used by @webpieces/http-client (RPC) and @webpieces/cloudtasks-client.

There is exactly ONE service name. The Cloud Run service name is what you report, what peers call you by, and what goes in every URL — yours and theirs. Nothing strips or adds a prefix: deploy a service as tf-server2 and its svcName is tf-server2. (getServiceName() used to strip a leading tf-, which made that service unreachable by the very name it reported.)

URL resolution itself does not live here — it lives in ClientRegistry (@webpieces/core-util, browser-safe), which runs one chain for every client: a registered mapping, else the installed deriver, else the caller's fallback. This package only supplies the GCP deriver. That is the seam: an AWS deployment installs templateDeriver (or just registers mappings) and never pulls gcp-metadata onto the URL path.
