Identifying vulnerabilities in GitHub Actions & AWS OIDC Configurations

In 2021, GitHub released support for OpenID Connect (OIDC) for GitHub Actions (GHA), allowing developers to securely interact with their infrastructure resources in Amazon Web Services (AWS), and other major cloud service providers. The OIDC support allows GHA jobs to retrieve short-lived session tokens on-demand rather than using the private key and credential files as secrets. Inner workings of AWS OIDC + GitHub One of the cloud providers that supports using OpenID Connect with GHA is AWS. In order to configure OIDC in AWS, two things are needed: an IAM role and an Identity provider that can be linked to […]

DevOps vs CI/CD: Key Differences You Need To Know

What is CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery)? Continuous Integration CI stands for Continuous Integration. It is a software development process/ technique whereby the new changes which are supposed to improve the code’s performance are updated automatically. Code changes by multiple software developers are integrated and updated automatically into a single database. It is a process by which the network of developers is committed to a central codebase, like stash or GitHub. The main function of Continuous Integration (CI) is to perform bug testing by assessing the code and integrating it across the development team.

Mojo: The Programming Language for AI That Is Up To 35000x Faster Than Python

Introducing Mojo — the new programming language for AI developers. MOJO is to Python what Typescript is to Javascript. I know what you might be thinking — a new AI programming language to learn from scratch … Well, I have good news, Mojo is designed as a superset of Python, so if you already know Python learning Mojo shouldn’t be hard. But that’s not all. Mojo combines the usability of Python with the performance of C obtaining a speed that is up to 35000x faster than Python. If you’re into AI and already know Python, Mojo is definitely worth a […]

GraphQL Vs. REST APIs

The core difference between GraphQL and REST APIs is that GraphQL is a specification, a query language, while REST is an architectural concept for network-based software. GraphQL is gaining momentum as a successor to REST APIs. However, it isn’t always a “replacement”, and making the decision to opt for GraphQL comes with several considerations. Traditionally and when used “out of the box”, REST has had limitations like multiple network requests and overfetching data. To overcome these, Facebook developed GraphQL as an open-source data query and manipulation language for APIs. GraphQL is a syntax for requesting data and lets you specify […]

Behind The Scenes: International Keyboard Shortcuts

I didn’t know much about keyboards going into this project. As a software engineer on Figma’s Editor Usability team, my day-to-day typically focuses on the design editor experience. Turns out, keyboard shortcuts are a big part of that. These preset key combinations are essential for efficient, intuitive workflows and have a host of accessibility benefits—such as making it easier to access menus and functions. Yet Figma’s many shortcuts were originally designed based on US keyboards, which meant that they didn’t work for many other types of keyboards. Our team began seeing a steady stream of shortcut-related bug reports as users encountered […]

Sanity Testing

Sanity testing is a type of software testing that aims to quickly evaluate whether the basic functionality of a new software build is working correctly or not. It is usually performed on builds that are in the initial stages of development, before the full regression testing is performed. Sanity testing is limited in scope and typically focuses on critical functionality and does not aim to uncover every possible error or bug in the system. It is a quick and lightweight way to ensure that the software is functioning as expected before further testing is conducted. Sanity Testing is a subset of […]

Accepting Things As They Are: Why and How to Do It

Life is full of situations that shouldn’t be the way they are! Sometimes you can fix these situations, but sometimes you can’t. Accepting things as they are is a powerful way to cope with situations that you don’t want or shouldn’t happen. Many things in life are beyond your control. Examples are everywhere: traffic, the weather, a burst bathroom pipe, difficult family members, or the death of a loved one — all things you don’t want or need, but things you cannot always prevent.
