Manning Publications AWS Security
Book SynopsisRunning your systems in the cloud doesn't automatically make them secure. To create secure applications and infrastructure on AWS, you need to understand the tools and features the platform provides and learn new approaches to configuring and managing them. Written by security engineer Dylan Shields, AWS Security provides comprehensive coverage on the key tools and concepts you can use to defend AWS-based systems. You'll learn how to honestly assess your existing security protocols, protect against the most common attacks on cloud applications, and apply best practices to configuring Identity and Access Management and Virtual Private Clouds. about the technology Rapid iteration, easy scaling, and huge savings have caused a mass migration to AWS. However, running in the cloud requires you to modify the security practices you use in on-prem infrastructure. Users of AWS who fail to adapt run the risk of exposing their business and their customers to an attack. Luckily, AWS comes with a stack of tools and services that offer a high level of control over your cloud security. about the book AWS Security is an invaluable guide that you'll want to have on hand when you're facing any cloud security problem. With a cookbook-style delivery, it's filled with well-documented examples and procedures you can apply to common AWS security issues. This book covers best practices for access policies, data protection, auditing, continuous monitoring, and incident response.

Manning Publications Svelte and Sapper in Action
Book SynopsisFor front-end web developers familiar with the basics of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Svelte and Sapper in Action is a comprehensive guide to building web apps with Svelte and Sapper. You’ll dive straight into coding a complete travel packing app as you learn to write, compile, and organize Svelte components for your app’s UI.

By the time you’re done, you’ll be able to build web applications that are easier to understand, offer great UX, and don’t compromise on SEO. Creating Svelte applications and components Communicating between Svelte components Routing between pages in both Svelte and Sapper Adding animation to components Debugging, testing, and deploying applications Implementing and invoking REST services in a Sapper app Exporting a Sapper app as a static site Imagine web apps with fast browser load times that also offer amazing developer productivity and require less code to create. That’s what Svelte and Sapper deliver! Svelte pushes a lot of the work a frontend framework would handle to the compile step, so your app components come out as tight, well-organized JavaScript modules. Sapper is a lightweight web framework that minimizes application size through server-rendering front pages and only loading the JavaScript you need. The end result is more efficient apps with great UX and simplified state management. Rather than loading a framework like Angular, Vue, or React into the browser, Svelte compiles your components into tiny, well-organized JavaScript modules. That means your app loads lightning fast and runs even faster, in part because there’s no need to load “just-in-case” framework code. Svelte also streamlines your UI development with a host of powerful features such as reactive statements, two-way data binding, stores, and context. The Sapper framework pairs perfectly with Svelte for efficient server-side rendering, code splitting, and API development.
