How We Used to Handle Security
A few years ago, I was working on a completely new project for a Fortune 500 corporation, trying to bring a brand new cloud-based web service to life simultaneously in 4 different countries in the EMEA region, which would later serve millions of users.
It took me and my team two months to handle everything: cloud infrastructure as code, state-of-the-art CI/CD workflows, containerized microservices in multiple environments, frontend distributed to CDN, and tests passing in the staging environment. We were so prepared that we could go live immediately with just one extra click of a button. And we still had a whole month before the planned release date.
