  In recent years, the Python async model has become a game-changer in web development. With the rise of data-driven applications and real-time services, developers need efficient ways to manage multiple tasks without sacrificing performance. Asyncio is a core library in Python and it provides a powerful framework for writing asynchronous code. This helps developers to control numerous operations concurrently. And its capability is beneficial for web applications, where responsiveness and speed are very important. What is Asyncio? Asyncio is a library designed to write concurrent code using the async/await syntax. This authorizes developers to pause execution at certain points and yield control back to the event loop. And later it can execute other tasks. Asyncio helps to avoid blocking calls that can slow down applications just by doing that. This is especially useful when working with I/O-bound operations like network requests or database queries, which can take considerable ti...

Data extraction is the primary use case of web scraping, and it helps businesses to gather critical data from across different online sources. But, once it comes to real sensitive or proprietary data — problems arise and security is not the least of them. Developers, especially those using web scraping with Python need to be more careful about the risk associated. Whether it leads to potential breaches or infrastructure vulnerabilities, there is simply no room for error when safeguarding the success of any sensitive data project. Risk of data breaches Another big issue with web scraping is violating someone's privacy (personal information), web scrapers are frequently interacting with a wide range of websites, fetching and retrieving large amounts of data. As you may guess if this is not done properly, it can expose some sensitive information. collecting user accounts, financial data the confidential business intelligence for example will result in dire consequences if the wrong p...

  The wild world of serverless computing is the major hype  these days, where developers can focus on writing code without worrying about provisioning servers or managing infrastructure. Sounds great, right? Well, not so fast! While serverless architectures offer flexibility and scalability, they also introduce unique security challenges that we cannot overlook. As an expert in DevSecOps, I'm here to guide you through the maze of security in serverless environments and share some essential DevSecOps best practices that will keep your applications safe and sound. Understanding the Serverless Landscape First, let’s clarify what we mean by serverless. Serverless computing allows developers to build and run applications without managing servers. Instead, applications run in stateless compute containers that are triggered by events, which can be anything from an HTTP request to a message in a queue. Popular options include AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and Google Cloud Functions. W...
