sjeanpierreon Cloud Functions: Go 1.11 is now a supported language

Is there a reason dependency management happens like this? We currently deploy Go Lambda functions in AWS with the help of the Serverless Framework and it just uploads the cross compiled Binary and not the whole project.

sjeanpierreon House Oversight Committee Report on Equifax Breach [pdf]

Heuristics like data volume are a good starting point, but also known good traffic flow is important to know. In a "secure" environment you'd route all traffic through a know choke-point that is network controlled. In AWS this would be using the routing layer of the VPC to force traffic to something like a Squid proxy before allowing it out.

On that proxy outbound traffic destination host or IPs would be compared to a list of known destination, and rejected if not match is found.

These methods are not 100%, but they do help add another layer to the security process.

sjeanpierreon Low Latency Architecture – AWS

If your batch settings are low enough Kinesis should be fine. SQS with long polling would also be pretty fast if you have enough workers.

sjeanpierreon The Google Analytics Setup I Use on Every Site I Build

Yup, GTM is great until the folks in marketing add a script to the site without first testing in preprod that causes the UI for the app to not render.
