Posted on June 20, 2023, Level beginner Resource Length medium
Since serverless is designed to scale to infinity, one of the questions we get asked very often is whether a DDoS attack on the serverless application can result in a hefty Cloud Bill. One way to prevent this is to have rate limiting on API Gateway in place so that the serverless application doesn't scale to unexpected levels and end up using all underlying resources.

(Spring) Booting Java to accept digital payments with USDC
Posted on June 16, 2023, Level intermediate Resource Length medium
It's funny how a seemingly meaningless event in one's life can lead to an unexpected change. For me, one of those events happened in July 2021 when my flight home was delayed by so much that I paid for my very first Uber. For this article, I wanted to see how easy it is for a web2 developer to use Java in order to perform some Fintech transactions using web3 and USDC over the Ethereum blockchain. My plan is to use the Circle Java SDK, Java 17, and a Spring Boot 3 RESTful API. By John Vester.

Displaying up-to-date and often updating information on an application view inspires confidence in the quality of the product and the prospect of getting what you ordered. By Tero Laitinen.
