## Understanding Local Tracing for Workers During Agent-Assisted Development Modern development workflows increasingly leverage AI coding agents to assist with debugging and resolving issues in applications. When working with Cloudflare Workers, a common scenario involves these agents needing to inspect and fix issues within the local development environment. Previously, diagnosing problems like a 500 error required manually adding console logs, re-running the request, and interpreting output—often a slow process that interrupted the agent’s flow. A significant enhancement has been introduced to streamline this process. Starting recently, Cloudflare’s development tooling now automatically captures OpenTelemetry traces for local Worker invocations. This feature…

It is a powerful tool, but compared to **pip**, it often felt slow and heavy for the kind of projects I was building. None of…

# Building a Medallion Architecture: A Practical Guide Modern data platforms quickly become unmanageable without clear structure.

By dividing your platform into clear layers—bronze, silver, and gold—you create a system that is easier to understand, debug, and trust. ## What Is the Medallion Architecture?

**The Rising Threat of PhaaS: How Greatness Kit Exploits OAuth for Account Takeover** The evolution of phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) kits has reached a new and dangerous level with the rise of platforms like “Greatness.” This crimeware no longer relies solely on crude email spoofing; instead, it weaponizes legitimate web protocols to bypass even robust security measures. Specifically, Greatness has incorporated device code phishing—a method that abuses the OAuth 2.0 Device Authorization Grant—to circumvent Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and steal session tokens directly from the victim’s browser. According to a report by ZeroBEC, which analyzed the Greatness PhaaS kit, this platform offers a…
