AWS Transit Gateway simplifies network architecture by connecting multiple VPCs and on-premises networks through a centralized hub—but it's easy to incur unnecessary costs if not managed properly. Learn how Kentik provides deep visibility into your AWS Transit Gateway usage, quickly highlighting expensive or inefficient traffic patterns. Using Kentik's Data Explorer, we show how to identify unnecessary intra-VPC traffic that's adding costs and potentially degrading performance.

Automating vulnerability scanning for Gradle dependencies with CircleCI

Detecting dependency vulnerabilities in a Gradle-based project is crucial because it prevents applications from using libraries (dependencies) with security holes. Imagine an application as a house. Each dependency, or library used in the project, is like building material (such as wood, glass, or bricks). If there’s a flawed or easily penetrable material, the house can become unsafe, such as being more vulnerable to thieves or collapsing during an earthquake.
