.NET Aspire is a new way of building cloud-ready applications. In particular, it provides an orchestration for local environments in which to run, connect, and debug the components of distributed applications. Those components can be .NET projects, databases, containers, or executables. .NET Aspire is designed to have integrations with common components used in distributed applications. […]

Executive Summary Cybercrime makes up a majority of the malicious activity online and occupies the majority of defenders’ resources. In 2024, Mandiant Consulting responded to almost four times more intrusions conducted by financially motivated actors than state-backed intrusions. Despite this overwhelming volume, cybercrime receives much less attention from national security practitioners than the threat from

Serverless queue processors like AWS Lambda often exist in architectures where they pull messages from queues such as Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) and interact with downstream services or external APIs in a distributed architecture. Robust retry approaches are necessary to provide reliable message processing due to the susceptibility of these downstream services to

The recent explosion of machine learning (ML) applications has created unprecedented demand for power delivery in the data center infrastructure that underpins those applications. Unlike server clusters in the traditional data center, where tens of thousands of workloads coexist with uncorrelated power profiles, large-scale batch-synchronized ML training workloads exhibit substantially different power usage patterns. Under
Sagar Batchu, CEO and cofounder of API tooling company Speakeasy, talks with Ryan about the evolving API landscape, AI integration, the role of human technologists in an increasingly automated environment, and what people building APIs right now should keep in mind.

AWS Software Development Kits (SDKs) and Command Line Interfaces (CLIs) are bundled with a default configuration that is carefully designed to optimize availability and reliability. Two such settings are the AWS Security Token Service (STS) endpoint and the default retry strategy. To improve the default posture for AWS customers, we will update these two defaults on

Threat actors who target cloud environments are increasingly focusing on exploiting compromised cloud identities. A compromise of human or non-human identities can lead to increased risks, including cloud resource abuse and sensitive data exfiltration. These risks are exacerbated by the sheer number of identities in most organizations; as they grow, the attack surface they represent

Ben and Ryan chat with Babak Behzad, senior engineering manager at Verkada, about running a pipeline that vectorizes 25,000 images per second into a custom-built vector database. They discuss whether the speed is due to technical brains or brawn, the benefits of processing on device vs. off, and the importance of privacy when using image
