Welcome to Part 2 in our series on building your own circuit breaker in Node.js. In Part 1, Building a Circuit Breaker in Node.js, we built a starter version that handles the core states of a circuit breaker. In this article, we will add configurability, manual overrides, and fallback request support. You can find the complete code for each example here.
Trouble choosing an HTTP client for your Ruby project? We've got you covered. To help with the decision making, here is a list of the most popular and interesting libraries in the space. We've also included examples of making a request in each, and some reasons each library might be of interest to you and your project.
I think we all know what log management is. As discussed in a 2017 article for The State of Security, log management is about systematically orchestrating the system and network logs collected by the organization. That being said, there’s still some confusion surrounding why an enterprise would want to collect log data in the first place. There are two primary drivers for an enterprise to collect log data. These are security and compliance.
Today, we have sent out our monthly newsletter with a short recap of the latest updates on Bearer.sh. Here's an abstract of what we shared - if you haven't joined the newsletter yet, subscribe at the end of this article.
Cyberattacks are a growing threat, and organizations are investing time and money in security strategies to make certain that their infrastructures are secure. Active Directory (AD) is a constant target for compromise, as it’s at the core of any organization’s security — it handles authentication and authorization for all users in an organization.
Threats against industrial environments are on the rise. Near the beginning of 2019, for example, Kaspersky Lab revealed that 47% of industrial control system (ICS) computers on which its software was installed suffered a malware infection in the past year. That was three percent higher than the previous year.
One of the only things that is constant in life is change. It’s the same with cybersecurity. There are different types of changes to consider. A lot of changes in our everyday life are out of our control. It can be hard to discover, monitor and even react to change. However, when it comes to change in the world of cybersecurity, it’s possible we can manage that change in a way that can have a positive impact on our business.
To operate efficiently, businesses today use numerous devices such as laptops, desktop computers, and mobile devices. Securing all these devices—collectively called endpoints—significantly improves the overall security of your enterprise’s IT network. This blog can help you get started with endpoint security. To begin with, let’s define endpoint security.
Circuit breakers were originally designed to protect electrical circuits from damage. Software development has adopted the concept as a type of resiliency pattern and it can now be found commonly in the cloud-native and microservices stacks. They can also be valuable in any codebase that needs to offer more flexibility, especially when relying on third-party APIs. Welcome to Part 1 of this two part series on building a circuit breaker in Node.js.
Have you ever been building an application and thought: "I can make requests to this service's API, but is there a way for them to let my app know when X happens? You could try calling the API on a set interval. Take the response, compare it to the last, and go from there. This is polling, but it is inefficient and can be an easy way to hit rate limits. Instead, some APIs and services offer what's known as a webhook. Instead of contacting them, they contact you.
