Better Dev Link

CSRF is very common but SSRF is something we overlooked. If our app fetches remote content such as taking screenshot of website, do health check, our app maybe tricked into loading resource in internal infrastructure.

Starting with the control plane, building up through workload and network security, and finishing with a projection into the future of security, here is a list of handy tips to help harden your clusters and increase their resilience if compromised.

What a software developer, who uses JavaScript to write applications, should know about engines so that the written code executes properly. Mind blwoing when just by adding a single property to each object, we end up with a performance drop of more than 700%!

Chaos engineering’s goal is to discover and help you overcome weaknesses across the entire sociotechnical system of software development
