Software development is changing rapidly. On one hand, you must quickly adapt to evolving requirements, while on the other, your applications need to operate continuously without downtime. DevOps helps you quickly adapt to changes. Among other initiatives, continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) are intgegral to any DevOps practice.

SQL injection is one of the most destructive ways an application can be attacked. This kind of attack is targeted toward the application database, which can result in consequences that are irreversible, lead to loss of money, and reduce user trust in your company. There are far too many application data breaches happening every day, usually when a malicious agent attacks the database.

Bottlerocket is designed to be able to run anywhere and, at launch, has a pre-built variant for Amazon EKS.

In case you missed it, this webinar includes code walkthroughs that help you to add observability to your pipelines (using a free Honeycomb account!) so that you and your team can speed up your deployments to prod. This is also a risk-free way to get started with observability if your team isn’t quite yet ready to change your production apps.
