Managing web applications from the ground up can be a daunting task. One application alone can quickly grow in complexity, let alone the multiple applications that are often required by different business units and stakeholders growing simultaneously. Add the ever-changing landscape of trendy frameworks and runtimes, and you quickly find yourself with an unmanageable mess of different technologies. Standardizing your application stack can help reduce the clutter.

In November 2023 we discovered an issue in the Go standard library’s net/http.Client that allowed an attacker who controls redirect targets on a server to exfiltrate authentication secrets. Soon after, we discovered a similar issue in net/http/cookiejar.Jar. The issues, collectively designated CVE-2023-45289, have now been fixed in Go 1.22.1 and Go 1.21.8, released on March 5, 2024. This blog post dives into the technical details behind those two bugs and the patch that addresses them.

For Android developers, test automation on CI/CD platforms such as CircleCI has become an indispensable part of the development workflow. But merely implementing automated testing is no longer enough to remain competitive and continue to develop at speed. Developers must also work to continuously monitor, maintain, and improve their test automation. As an application grows in complexity, the scale of development grows, as does the number of automated tests.

Is your DevOps tool stack out of control? I feel like every day, I talk to someone who feels this pain. The technological golden age of the past few years created a lot of niche tools, but now that CFOs and boards alike are demanding budget restraint, many of these tools are being scrutinized. The reality of the situation is that it’s not good enough for a tool to do one thing anymore.

journalctl is a command-line utility in Linux systems that allows users to query and view logs collected by systemd's logging service, known as the journal. This logging service captures a wide range of system events, including kernel messages, service status changes, user logins, and more, providing a complete view of system activity. Users can use journalctl to filter logs based on various standards such as time range, severity level, specific units (system services), or even custom fields.

Another year, another quantum leap in public cloud spending. 2022 saw organizations spend $491 billion on the public cloud; not to be outdone, 2023’s $563.6 billion marked the first year that public cloud spending exceeded half a trillion dollars. Accelerating cloud spend mixed with shaky macroeconomic conditions meant one thing: Efficiency has never been a higher priority for cloud-driven organizations.
