You will learn about the different checks provided by OpenSSF Scorecard, how to configure the checks for your environment, and how to automate their implementation.

In April 2014, the Linux Foundation Executive Director Jim Zemlin seized the opportunity to get visibility and managed to get Amazon Web Services, Cisco, Dell, Facebook, Fujitsu, Google, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, NetApp, Qualcomm, Rackspace, and VMware to all pledge to commit at least $100,000 a year for at least three years to the Core Infrastructure Initiative. The initiative continued for many years and eventually transformed into the Open Source Security Foundation. Also due to Heartbleed, the European Commission launched the EU-Free and Open Source Software Auditing project and spent at least a million euros on auditing OpenSSL, the Apache Server, KeePass, and other security-critical open source software.

The idea of using `-fsanitize-minimal-runtime` is interesting. I don't have any direct experience with that option. I've created an issue to investigate maybe adding that to the guide. Thanks for the tip!

These are technical details that are out of the scope of this article, but we think that it is important to mention them because the security strategy of a company should be based on a solid foundation, and these frameworks show that there are already some good starting points, companies don't have to start from scratch. If you want to know more about them or other ways to improve the security of your software supply chain, visit the OpenSSF website.

Participating in the cybersecurity community can be a useful way to gain information about security trends and possible risks. Organizations such as the OWASP, OpenSSF, SANS Institute, and ISC2 promote the exchange of information between organizations and can raise the alarm about emerging issues or hacking strategies.

Today corporations, open source projects, nonprofit foundations, and even governments are all trying to figure out how to improve the global software supply chain security. While these efforts are more than welcome, for the moment, there is hardly any straightforward way for organizations to improve on that front.

Since then, the ecosystem has changed. Using the Serverless Framework makes deployment simpler. We released the managed Tracetest App making any serverless-based systems simpler to instrument and test. You can now test public-facing apps with no infra overhead!

We see some great results from using these in conjunction with frameworks such as SST or Serverless, and also some real spaghetti from people who organically proliferate 100’s of functions over time and lose track of how they relate to each other or how to update them safely across time and service. Buyer beware!

When we think about AWS serverless service, the first thing that comes to our mind is Lambda function. Yes, the quickest way to deploy this backend Express JS app to AWS is to deploy it as a Lambda function. The easiest way is using Serverless Framework.

In this example, we're using the serverless framework to quickly set up the Lambda function along with an API gateway for the entry point. The lambda function is a simple Koa REST API with a few functional endpoints.

Naturally, there are several options available to declare your cloud resources. The options with the most popularity are the CDK, AWS CloudFormation, SST, Serverless framework, Terraform, and AWS SAM. There are others, but when talking about Infrastructure as Code (IaC), these are the ones you hear about most often.

1 - Serverless + AWS CDK + Lift: An integration that amps up the traditional Serverless Framework with Lift's static frontend construct and CDK's robust infra definition.

It's a bit easier in Python if you use tools like https://www.serverless.com/. I'm not sure if Rust has something similar yet.
