Building a Circuit Breaker in Node.js (Part 1)

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.

Consuming Webhooks with Node.js and Express

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.

Black Duck SCA & Coverity Static Analysis (SAST) Integrations with Amazon AWS CI Tools | Synopsys

DevOps teams are rearchitecting their applications from monoliths to microservices, fueled by containerization and CI/CD. As application development moves to the cloud, security testing tools must follow. Application security testing solutions by Synopsys support the CI/CD tools you already use, including AWS Developer Tools. Coverity static analysis identifies security and quality issues in code as it is being built.
