Inside the Episode: Defense-in-Depth for Modern Web Apps

In this inaugural episode, our engineering leads dissect the transition from legacy monolithic deployments to headless microservices. We explore why modern decoupled systems require a Zero-Trust security model across every layer of the technology stack.

We walk through concrete terminal configurations, Dockerfile patterns, and reverse-proxy settings that turn vulnerable web endpoints into impenetrable enterprise fortresses.
