In the realm of Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD), security is paramount. However, as organizations rapidly adopt CI/CD practices, several security risks emerge. Understanding and mitigating these risks is crucial to maintaining a secure and resilient software delivery pipeline. Below is a detailed exploration of the top 10 CI/CD security risks.

Fetch Waterfalls are scenarios where multiple fetch requests are invoked in a sequential manner, not in parallel. This leads to some serious performance degradation. Here’s how they look: In this case, the second and third requests can be fetched in parallel, which will improve the page load and data display by 4.053 seconds. The negative performance impact with fetch waterfalls is also stacking - meaning the more requests there are, the worse the performance impact is going to be.

With the explosion of wireless devices in the workplace and emerging technologies like IoT going mainstream, enterprise Wi-Fi has become more pivotal than ever to maintain business productivity and growth. But as demand grows to securely connect employees and guests across office complexes, warehouses, educational institutions and even stadiums, IT teams grapple with significant complexity in pursuing robust and ubiquitous wireless coverage. What exactly is enterprise-grade Wi-Fi?

Observability and log management are needed for a strong IT strategy. Two essential tools for these purposes are AWS CloudWatch and OpenTelemetry. AWS Cloudwatch provides real-time data and insights into AWS-powered applications' health, performance, and efficiency. On the other hand, OpenTelemetry is an open-source observability framework that assists developers in creating, gathering, and exporting telemetry data (such as traces, metrics, and logs) for analysis.
