If you are building an API, you are most likely evaluating the pros and cons of available technologies. Sooner or later, you will surely come across NodeJS. NodeJS helps to create stable, scalable, and backward-compatible APIs. Besides the functionalities, you can’t overlook the security risk that comes with them. Misconfigured, insecure APIs leave your companies with high-profile cyber-attacks. Like any APIs, those developed with NodeJS come with security threats.

If you spend quite a bit of time in the command line, working with Docker images and containers locally to build and test them, you might be in the mood for some power-user Docker commands. We're skipping the basics and diving straight into the lesser-known yet highly effective commands that can significantly improve your Docker experience.
