UserKit

• Migrated password hashing back into our main Python code-base since App Engine Py3 now allows use of libraries with C-extensions.
  • Ran into a bunch of bytes vs strings issues migrating back to PyCrypto.
  • Removed fastutils Golang service now that we don’t need it.
  • Ran speed tests, only to discover PyCrypto is 10X slower for PBKDF2 than our fastutils service.
  • Switched to Python 3’s hashlib PBKDF2 implementation.
    • Docs warned that it was 3X slower than OpenSSL, but turns out those docs are out of date.
    • Newer version of hashlib performs 2X faster than our fastutils service when you include network latency for requests to that service.
• Merged dashboard Google Cloud Project into our main UserKit project.
  • Migrated Manager data.
  • Migrated code.
  • Updated App Engine domain settings to point to correct service/project.
• Next step: performance tuning.
