Full-stack & DevOps

🛡️ Security and reliability

How to protect a full-stack application against attacks and abuse, and how to keep it available and recoverable: HTTPS, OWASP, rate limiting, server-side validation, backups, SLOs and safe deployments.

What you'll learn

Curb abuse by implementing a rate limiter and always validating on the server
Guarantee recovery with backups and RPO/RTO, SLA and SLO objectives
Deploy safely with strategies like canary and learn from postmortems
