CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) allows faster and more reliable delivery by automating builds, tests, and deployments. It ensures rapid delivery without compromising quality. Updates are frequent but not necessarily tied to sprint cycles.

The logs show a high volume of GET requests to the /homeendpoint within a very short time frame (one request per second or even multiple per second). This pattern is consistent with a DDoS attack, where an excessive number of requests are made to overload the server, causing it to crash or return errors (as seen with the 502 status codes).

Data sovereignty ensures that customer data is stored, processed, and protected according to the legal and regulatory requirements of the country or region where the data resides, which is critical when operating across multiple continents.

Implementing an instance warm-up period can address the issue of new web servers not having all modules loaded during scaling events. This warm-up period allows new instances to fully initialize and start serving traffic only when they are ready, preventing failed requests.

Buffer overflows and broken authentication mechanisms result from insecure or improper coding practices. These vulnerabilities arise when developers fail to implement secure coding standards, leading to performance and security issues after updates.
