### AI overview

This article explains how to implement durable workflows on Postgres without an external orchestrator. It describes using row-level locking as a concurrent work queue, primary-key checkpoints for idempotency, and leases with a sweeper for crash recovery. Workflow state, sleeps, and human approvals can persist in the database and survive process restarts.

### Source excerpt

Postgres can serve as the durable state store and coordination layer for workflows, eliminating the need for an external orchestrator. SKIP LOCKED enables concurrent work processing, primary-key checkpoints enforce idempotency, and leases support crash recovery. Workflow sleeps and human approvals can also be persisted as database state and survive restarts. By Raman Varma

### AI overview

This article presents an incident response model for GPU clouds and other customer-facing infrastructure businesses. It emphasizes preparation, named ownership, meaningful alert paths, incident command, separation of technical work from customer communication, and post-incident learning. It argues that tools such as PagerDuty, Jira, Grafana, and Slack are useful only within a clear operating model.

### Source excerpt

The tools matter, but they only work when they sit inside a clear operating model: ownership, signal, command, communication, and learning.

### AI overview

An incident-response guide for investigating AWS CloudTrail events through a multi-stage attack scenario. It traces an SSRF vulnerability on an EC2-hosted web application to IMDSv1 credential harvesting, IAM activity, and unauthorized Amazon Bedrock access across Regions.

### Source excerpt

In Part 1 of this guide, we examined two common incident scenarios: cross-account Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) data deletion with ransomware implications, and cryptocurrency mining deployed through AWS CloudFormation using exposed AWS Management Console credentials. We also introduced key incident response terminology and investigative frameworks for analyzing AWS CloudTrail events. In this second [...]

### AI overview

An incident.io intern describes making rate limiting resilient to the loss of its Valkey backing store. The solution used per-pod in-memory top-k buffers so the platform could continue rate limiting instead of failing open when Valkey became unavailable.

### Source excerpt

Our rate limiter depends on Valkey. If Valkey goes down we fail open and stop limiting which isn't good enough for our platform. As an intern, I built per-pod in-memory top-k buffers so we keep rate limiting even with the backing store gone.

### AI overview

Spring Ring is a coordinated social engineering campaign that used external Microsoft Teams accounts and voice phishing to impersonate IT help desk staff. The operation targeted more than 150 employees across at least 10 companies and attempted to deliver remote monitoring and management tools or custom malware. A more advanced variant escalated to an NTLM relay attack against an organization's domain controller.

### AI overview

This article explains how security engineers can detect multi-stage attacks on AWS by correlating signals across services with business context. It presents examples using CloudWatch Logs Insights and discusses expanding the correlations into an automated pipeline.

### Source excerpt

A single alert from one security service tells you something happened. Read that signal alongside activity from other services and your own business context, and you will know whether what happened is part of a multi-stage attack. Consider a short sequence. An identity calls GetCallerIdentity from a source address it hasn't previously used. Within minutes, [...]

### AI overview

AWS Network Firewall now provides rule hit counts for stateful rules, using alert-log data to show how often rules match network traffic. The feature helps teams identify unused rules, support incident response, and demonstrate security-control effectiveness for compliance.

### Source excerpt

As firewall rule sets grow in complexity, security teams face a common challenge: manual log analysis is used to determine which rules are actively matching traffic and which are consuming capacity without being triggered. This lack of visibility creates operational and compliance gaps. Organizations with governance policies that require removal of dormant rules after a [...]

### Source excerpt

ClickStack and Hud now share trace IDs, pairing service-level observability with function-level runtime forensics so coding agents can assess risky changes before they ship, catch regressions right after deploy, and fix them with real production context.
