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.
Check Point researchers recently published two vulnerabilities they’d found in Microsoft’s Azure cloud services. These flaws highlight a wave of potential attacks on cloud infrastructure and the exposure of workloads running in multi-tenant cloud environments.

Five worthy reads is a regular column on five noteworthy items we’ve discovered while researching trending and timeless topics. This week, we discuss the escalating significance of AI and machine learning in IT security space.
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.
Sysdig, an industry leader for monitoring and security of cloud-native workloads, and IBM have joined forces to bring a fully Integrated powerful platform that delivers the security and performance that enterprises need in today’s multi-cloud world.
