API Friction Complicates Hunting for Cloud Vulnerabilities. SQL Makes it Simple

APIs can tell you everything about your cloud infrastructure, but they're hard to use and work in different ways. What if you could write simple SQL queries that call APIs for you and put results into a database?

Consuming Kafka messages is simple; you get them as long as they are produced, but nothing more. But if you need real-time processing of the data (filtering, joining, or manipulating events), just using the Kafka-consuming API might not be the best approach as the resulting code becomes complex. Kafka Streams and Quarkus are the perfect matches to start processing Kafka events in real-time. (Article)
