bytefishon Google Zanzibar: Implementing the Check API and Expand API Using .NET (2023)

The URL, which the submission has been updated to, is outdated. And I would prefer, if you changed it back to the submitted URL: https://www.bytefish.de/blog/acl_google_zanzibar.html

I want to show people how to parse the Google Zanzibar Namespace Configuration and how the algorithms are actually implemented.

GitLab is also using ElasticSearch, so one could recreate the ElasticSearch Indices they came up with. [1]

They also share some of the challenges, they faced along the way. It also discusses interesting challenges, like implementing the authorization model. [2], [3]

When GitHub removed its most useful Search feature, which is sorting results by date, I wrote a small “Search Engine” with ElasticSearch to selectively index Microsoft repositories. It works good enough for my needs. [4]

bytefishon GitHub code search is generally available

Sorting the code search results by date has often been my only guide in a breadth-first search, to find out how to use an API in a recent state of the ecosystem, that I am working with.

I am working with .NET and .NET has seen lots and lots of changes in the past years. I often have to see the usage of a library in the current form of the .NET ecosystem, instead of say, an outdated .NET Framework project from 5 years ago.

Is there any equivalent for doing such a search in the new Code Search?
