Enable ModSecurity with the OWASP Core Rule Set on cPanel, configure rules in audit mode, and avoid false positives and performance issues.
Outbound calls timing out under load while CPU and memory look healthy often means SNAT port exhaustion. Confirm it with Load Balancer metrics, then fix it with NAT Gateway, connection reuse, or scale-out.

EAS Update lets you push JavaScript fixes to installed Expo apps without store review. Here's how runtime versions keep OTA updates safe, a staged rollout example with rollback, and where the model breaks down.
GitHub Actions can mint short-lived OIDC tokens that cloud providers exchange for temporary credentials — no stored secrets. The security lives in the cloud-side trust condition, not the token.
