Deployment Strategies: Blue-Green
Tags: deployment, softwareengineering, bluegreendeployment, softwaredeployment
Published: 2023-08-28 09:54:46

It’s a deployment strategy to create two separate, but identical deployment or production environments. One environment (**blue**) is running the current application version and one environment (**green**) is running the new application version. Once testing has been completed on the green environment, live application traffic is directed to the green environment and the blue environment is deprecated. 

A blue-green deployment strategy increases application availability and reduces deployment risk by simplifying (only to the previous running version) the rollback process if a deployment fails. 

![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/c28qprpopxqyk8rpo7hg.png)

## Advantages:

- **Increased application availability**: With blue-green deployment, there is always a version of the application that is live and available to users.
- **Reduced deployment risk**: By having identical environments, the deployment risk is reduced, and the rollback process is simplified in the event of a deployment failure.
    
    Rollback to the previous version is simplified, however, rollback to an older or an earlier version is limited. Required full deployment.
    
- **Improved user experience**: With continuous delivery and reduced downtime, users can enjoy a seamless experience with new features and updates.
- **Easy production testing**: Testing can be done on the new environment (green) without affecting the live environment (blue).

## Disadvantages:

- **Cost & Complexity**: Setting up and Maintaining two identical environments requires additional resources, and infrastructure requirements which have the potential to increase complexity and cost.
- **Data consistency**: Depending on the application, it may be challenging to ensure that data is consistent between the blue and green environments during the deployment process.
- **Limited rollbacks**: While blue-green deployment simplifies the rollback process, it can also limit the ability to roll back to an earlier version of the application if necessary.

## Tips for minimizing the disadvantages

- **Cloud-Based Deployment Platform and Containerization**: The cloud is cost-effective. Also, automated testing and deployment processes reduce complexity.
- Use _feature flags_ to test new features before deploying them to production. This can help to reduce the risk of problems with the new version.
- Well-defined or automated rollback plan
- Having a monitoring system ready to identify issues as soon as they occur
- Having a communication channel with end users

Deployment Strategies: Push-and-Pray
Tags: pushandplay, deployment, software, beginners
Published: 2023-08-28 09:45:01

A push-and-pray deployment is a deployment strategy where developers simply push the new code to production and hope that it works. There is no possibility to test new code in production to ensure that the new code is stable and secure for production. This is a **risky** deployment strategy because it can lead to downtime, errors, and security vulnerabilities.

## Useful for

- Small businesses or organizations (start-ups) with fewer resources to invest
- Large organizations can sometimes use push-and-pray deployments, especially in emergency situations — serious production errors

## Advantages

- Simple and easy to implement.
- Does not require any special tools or infrastructure.
- Can be used to deploy changes to any type of application.

## Disadvantages

- **Downtime**: If the new code is not stable, it can cause downtime for users.
- **Errors**: The new code may contain errors that can cause problems for users.
- **Security vulnerabilities**: The new code may contain security vulnerabilities that can be exploited by attackers.
- **Lack of visibility**: There is no way to track the performance of the new code after it has been deployed.

Before considering using a push-and-pray deployment strategy, carefully weigh the risks and benefits. In most cases, it is better to use a more sophisticated deployment strategy that includes testing and monitoring.

## Reliable and Secure Alternatives

- **[Canary deployment](https://dev.to/amburi/canary-deployment-818)**: A canary deployment is a gradual deployment strategy in which a small percentage of users are served the new code first. This allows for testing the new code in production without affecting all users.
- **[Blue-green deployment](https://dev.to/amburi/blue-green-deployment-strategy-2212):** A blue-green deployment is a deployment strategy in which two identical environments are created: the blue environment, which is currently running, and the green environment, which is the new version. Once the green environment is ready and tested, traffic is switched from the blue environment to the green environment.
- **A/B testing**: A/B testing is a deployment strategy in which two versions of the same application are deployed to different users. This allows you to compare the performance of the two versions and determine which one is better.

These are just a few of the many deployment strategies that are available. The best deployment strategy depends on specific needs and requirements.
How IAST Can Help in Malware Analysis
Tags: malware, iast, analysis, security
Published: 2023-08-28 09:40:15

Interactive application security testing (IAST) can help with malware analysis in several ways:

IAST tools monitor applications in runtime to detect potential threats and malicious behaviors:

Exfiltrating sensitive data
Injecting code
Making insecure network requests
Abusing privileges
Any of these behaviors could indicate the presence of malware, alerting malware analysts.

IAST tools pinpoint vulnerabilities and threats more precisely than static or dynamic testing alone since they have visibility into the actual execution flow of the application.

This allows malware analysts to:

Understand how the malware works
Identify potential weaknesses to exploit
The precise locationing of issues provided by IAST gives malware analysts more context into how threats work within the application.

IAST tools also provide remediation guidance when vulnerabilities or threats are identified, such as:

Removing hard-coded credentials
Escaping user input
Limiting privileges
This remediation guidance can be useful for malware analysts looking to disable or remove malware from an infected application.

In summary, while IAST tools are not designed specifically for malware analysis, they can still offer benefits:

Early detection of threats
More context into how threats work
Outlining potential fixes or workarounds
The runtime monitoring capabilities of IAST are well suited to assisting with malware analysis by helping analysts identify suspicious behaviors, pinpoint vulnerable code, and determine potential remediation steps.

Using IAST tools in conjunction with other malware analysis techniques has the potential to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of a malware analyst's work.
The 5 Rules of ARIA
Tags: aria, html, a11y, webdev
Published: 2023-08-28 09:25:28

As a general rule, no ARIA is better than bad ARIA. This is because bad ARIA can cause screen readers and other assistive technologies to misunderstand how a page fits together and this can make web pages unusable for end users.

When using ARIA, following the 5 rules of ARIA can help prevent us from making costly mistakes.

## Don't use ARIA!

Aria should only be used to fill in gaps that HTML does not provide. ARIA should be the last resort, don't use it if native HTML elements will do the same thing.

## Don't replace native semantics

Don't define an item as one type and use ARIA to override the type to something else. Instead of `<div role="button">`, use `<button>`, this already provides interactivity such as keyboard press & simplifies code requirements.

## Interactive controls must be keyboard accessible

Everything you can do with a mouse, you should be able to do with keyboard. For example, if a mouse is required to operate menus then it should be possible to operate these from the keyboard - this extends to using `home`/`end` to select the first and last items, typing to search, escape to clear selection, etc.

## Beware of `role="presentation"` and `aria-hidden="true"`

Users can get stuck if keyboard users can see items, but screen readers can't. Therefore hiding items from ARIA needs to be done with extreme care.

## All interactive elements must have an accessible names

All interactive elements such as links, buttons, inputs, etc should have accessible names. This helps assistive technologies to understand how everything fits together.

For example, we can use the `for` attribute to draw a link between an `<input>` and the associated `<label>` control.

Python psutil module, OS monitoring.
Published: 2023-08-28 08:10:33



• The psutil module is a cross-platform library for getting information about running processes and system usage (CPU, memory, disks, network, sensors) in Python. This module is useful for system monitoring, profiling, limiting process resources, and managing running processes.

• It implements many features offered by UNIX command line tools such as: ps, top, lsof, netstat, ifconfig, who, df, kill, free, nice, ionice, iostat, iotop, uptime, pidof, tty, taskset, pmap .

Since the psutil module is not part of the Python standard library, it must be installed separately.
Thinking about JS front-end testing
Tags: javascript, discuss, testing, frontend
Published: 2023-08-28 08:07:43

Currently I am working on a Vue component library which can use some testing. Since Vue components always form a wonderful mix of JS, HTML and CSS it is harder to me to think about testing them the way I would in PHP. 

Because in PHP I often can use a very clear cut setup of testing the public functions of a class and can easily mock out the dependecies by injections. I can quite easily hold on to the concept of Unit testing as a basis for my tests.

In Vue components I believe all I should do is consider all my work to be intergration testing rather then unit testing. My main arguments for this are: 
- My templating logic, like the `v-if` and `v-for`, heavily define the logical paths and can't be turned into seperate units/functions.
- My JS logic should not be turned into seperate files or composables just for testing purposes if it is more logical or practical to keep it in the component. what I consider logical or practical reasons to seperate code is when you want to use it in at least two places or when you can keep a better overview of what is happing in the component. 

To me it becomes easier to reason about all my components as intergration tests, that at the very least combine three languages and in most cases also include dependencies in JS in the form of packages, composables or child components. 

This thinking makes it easier for me to review my code prior to writing tests. I now skim them for what I would consider a `Unit` and then write a few tests per `Unit` in a intregration testsuite instead of pulling apart a nice component and testing every function. 
What I consider a `Unit` is more then the specific `function` or `() =>` we use in JS. Every logical fork can be considered a `Unit` and I just make a educated guess about which of those forks are important. If I have a `v-if` on a prop boolean that shows or hides text I tend not to test it, because by reading the code I am already a 100% certain it will work. But if I have a `v-if` that if the boolean is true is depended on other props to exist to show an output I am more likely to test it. 
Basically I try to look for "meaningful intersections" within all the logical paths that exist in my code. 

Does my reasoning make sense to you? Or do you believe I am wrong in thinking that components should always be viewed as intergration tests? I would like to hear a different take on the topic.

In today’s digital world, our passwords are our lifelines to our online accounts. They protect our personal information, our financial data, and even our sense of security. But what if I told you that your passwords are not safe? That AI can crack them in minutes?

It’s true. Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly sophisticated, and it is now being used to crack passwords at an alarming rate. In fact, a recent study by Home Security Heroes found that 51% of common passwords can be cracked in less than a minute using AI.

So how can you protect yourself from AI password cracking? Here are a few tips:

- Use strong passwords. A strong password is at least 12 characters long and includes a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
- Don’t use the same password for multiple accounts. If a hacker cracks your password for one account, they will have access to all of your other accounts if you use the same password for them all.
- Use a password manager. A password manager is a software application that helps you create and store strong passwords for all of your online accounts.
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA). 2FA adds an extra layer of security to your online accounts by requiring you to enter a code from your phone in addition to your password when you log in.

By following these tips, you can help to protect your passwords from AI cracking and keep your online accounts safe.

Here are some additional tips to help you create strong passwords:

- Use a phrase instead of a word. For example, instead of using “password,” try “I love my dog, Sparky.”
- Use a combination of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
- Avoid using personal information in your passwords, such as your name, birthday, or address.
- Change your passwords regularly.

By following these tips, you can create strong passwords that will be difficult for AI to crack.
