BygoneSSL and the certificate that wouldn't die

Turns out the scariest thing about SSL certificates isn’t when they expire. It’s when they don’t. I wrote about the CA/Browser fight that led to the 47-day certificate mandate. CAs crying about lost revenue, browsers flexing their root program authority, enterprises stuck in the middle. But nobody talks about the security research that started it all: BygoneSSL at DEFCON 2018. Two researchers mining Certificate Transparency logs found something surprising.

External Request Monitoring: The Silent Pillar Every APM Needs

The global market for application performance monitoring (APM) is growing fast. Market research shows the industry is expected to rise from about USD 7.52 billion in 2023 to nearly USD 19.62 billion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 15.1%. This rapid expansion reflects how digital transformation, hybrid cloud adoption, and third-party integrations are reshaping performance monitoring needs. It’s no longer enough to track just internal code paths and database queries.

Validate CDC data in your CI/CD pipeline using CircleCI

Change Data Capture (CDC) is a technique used to identify and capture changes, such as inserts, updates, and deletes, in a source database so they can be replicated to another system in real-time. This approach is crucial in modern data pipelines, especially for powering data lakes, analytics platforms, and event-driven applications that depend on up-to-date information. Setting up a CDC pipeline is only the first step.
