Ask two developers whether SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) or REST (Representational State Transfer) is better for accessing web services and you’ll likely get two different answers – and maybe more.

The constant evolution of security threats has long-since made preventing cyber-attacks and network intrusion attempts a nearly impossible task. Real threats are often hard to identify among a multitude of false alarms, and many experts understand that a well-integrated and fully-automated threat intelligence strategy is the best approach.

You know what they say: you can’t fix what you can’t find. That’s what makes log management such a critical element in the DevOps process.

Let us first agree on a couple of things before we start: One, Android is the most affordable platform for enterprises with a mobile-first/mobile-only workforce, and it has the smallest learning curve of any mobile OS. Two, due to its very open-source nature, Android is easy for malicious actors to pray on, with the Google Play Store being the breeding ground for many attacks.

When you look at an X-Ray trace for a Lambda cold start, you will see an Initialization subsegment. This subsegment represents “the function’s initialization code that is run before the handler”.
